After a huge amount of time with no updates i've finally gotten round to updating the site (May'2009), there is now a complete ebook version of my comic-Cold Sweat Day Dreams available for your viewing-If you like it please buy a copy-you can paypal £6.50 to c.ridley3@ntlworld.com if you are interested-i'll include a free sketch in the cover too! At this time there are only about 12 copies left out of the original print run of 50.
I'm also pleased to announce that the photography section is now live and up and running-enjoy.
Please remember that all the art you see is for sale unless marked otherwise, you can buy my work from Londonart.co.uk or when I exhibit in galleries but you will end up paying commission which increases the price by up to 100% for example-my recently completed painting 'Dreamland' costs £350 to buy here, if you buy it from londonart or a gallery you can expect to pay upwards of £640 so buy work direct from me! You can paypal money to c.ridley3@ntlworld and I am happy for you to see the work and send it back if you are not completely satisfied.
Tthis is where
my ideas and ego run rampant like rampaging mongols across the steppes,
where ideas go for a walk, where wonder has returned and stories are told,
where horror and beauty mingle with magic, humour and repulsion, sort
of.
As soon as
we are forbidden then something has to be done, tell us not to push the
button and guess what, we HAVE to push it, as soon as i knew i couldnt
play the game, i knew i had to push even harder to foist my vision on
the world.
If we want
to make the world a better place then we should all make what Kierkegaard
called a 'Leap of faith' to no longer live constrained by our reactions
to each other but by our own voices, to stop living as an effect of our
circumstance and to live instead as a force for what we can be in ourselves.

on the links and enjoy the work.
Wonder had gone away, and he
had forgotten that all life is only a set of pictures in the brain, among
which there is no difference betwixt those born of real things and those
born of inward dreamings, and no cause to value the one above the other.
Custom had dinned into his ears a superstitious reverence for that which
tangibly and physically exists, and had made him secretly ashamed to dwell
in visions... They had chained him down to things that are, and had then
explained the workings of those things till mystery had gone out of the
world... Then he would have recourse to the polite laughter they had taught
him to use against the extravagance and artificiality of dreams; for he
saw that the daily life of our world is every inch as extravagant and
artificial, and far less worthy of respect because of its poverty in beauty
and its silly reluctance to admit its own lack of reason and purpose.
