Latest News:

Pete is back out and about again but this time with his drawing and illustrations. Taking up the walls of the new Milk bar in Reading town centre (used to be the Afro bar). Pete is showcasing both old and new work for the first time together in one space and most of the work on show is for sale so a good opportunity to see it in the flesh. The bar itself is a gorgeous place and the manager Tim sells absolutely outstanding rum. Highly recommended! Please go and show your support for one of the few small independant bars left in Reading.

You may also notice that I have added a new Quick Links menu and within this is my new gallery and shop! All my black and white (and some colour!) prints and some original drawings are now available to everyone, all the time, world wide!
