In addition he sells a range of original and print editions of his work on a range of media.
2) Art for Fun

An established local character in his hand drawn Pith helmets and outfits, Andy is inspired by the scenery of Purbeck and the activites within it, especially on the water.

Drawing in fineliners and marker pens. My work is inspired by the Purbeck coast and countryside and activities in them.”
