About
Made slowly,
by hand.
I'm LX. By day I work as a software developer — painting is what I do the rest of the time, purely because I love it. I'm self-taught, and still very much an amateur in the best sense of the word.
It started small, as a hobby shared with my girlfriend. Then friends who saw the paintings wanted to see more, then neighbours, then friends of friends — until it felt like something worth sharing further. That's how this site came to be.
Here you'll find everything I've painted. I'm open to pretty much any painting-related request — a commissioned piece made for you, an original for sale, or a print of an existing piece for the price of a coffee. Thank you for taking the time to look around.
