Welcome to my Art Works Home Page
The software used to create these graphics is designed to run on RISC OS based machines. However Microsoft Windows users can run the software under emulation.
I am starting a new series converting some of the excellent Xara tutorials to ArtWorks format. Available from Foundation RISCWorld magazine the first article starts in August. Because the magazine is browser based extra material can be easily added to the tutorial as shown in the rather nice animation in the next issue.

This section shows some of my general illustrations. They are all drawn using the fantastic and easy-to-use ArtWorks 2. A couple of the pictures have been embellished with a bitmap editor.

I have recently held an exhibition in my library in Mansfield. I exhibited a variety of prints consisting mainly of vector graphic images created 'naturally' in ArtWorks 2 with some kaleidoscope pictures designed in Photodesk. Comments in the visitors book were very favourable to the extent I sold two limited-edition prints. I was surprised because the library staff were adamant that none would be sold. The Three Hares seemed to be the most popular image and is a personal favourite.
The picture of the fox was originally conceived from a tutorial written by a superb illustrator - Walter Briggs. The original article (Mammals Art Course - Fox Part 1) was published in Acorn Publisher (vol 9, issue 2) and photocopies may still be available from http://www.finnybank.com/qercus/misc/archives.html. Creating an impression of animal fur is challenging in a vector package and may take some hours to perfect.
Some of the examples are tessellations. Once you understand the principals these unique and interesting patterns are very easy to create using ArtWorks 2. I have recently given a talk at the Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club describing how to draw a simple shape by converting the sides of a square to curves and then creating a tessellation matrix.
