you can find out everything you need to know about my birds here with very good

What’s a typical day at your studio?
I work full time as a self employed gardener and tree surgeon so spend evenings and
weekends creating all sorts of things from LEGO.
Could you tell us a bit about your design process?
I design my creations from scratch starting with one element then slowly finding the
right elements to add to eventually result in the finished article, as an example, to create
a bird I choose a predominant feature like their beak or eye to scale the rest of the bird
around.
I try to build my LEGO bird creations as close to life size and lifelike as possible but
sometimes I am limited by a lack of LEGO elements.
Please could you tell us briefly about your background and how you came to have
your studio in its current format?
My LEGO life started when I was very young. I have two older brothers whose LEGO I
used to play with.
