At the end of 2005 the direction of my art changed dramatically. Instead of time-consuming portraits I started drawing everyday objects - charting the personal items around the house and what they meant to me. I started a blog and the need to keep it updated provided self-imposed deadlines.

As I was living in Kuwait at the time, I realised that my unusual surroundings would make interesting material. I found that the process of sketching everyday helped me greatly to speed up my drawing technique. With drawing came writing and with writing came photographs, which opened my eyes to the wealth of inspiration around me everyday.
