Slipstream is the online component, primarily, of my business and vocation as an artist. The proper application of new technology allows me to reach a wider audience and offer them original artwork, commemorative prints, coasters and other unique memorabilia based on my paintings and drawings.
As an artist involved in motorsport and aviation all of my working life I love the futuristic signature of the solar cars. The various designs are technically fascinating and artistically intriguing, not all beauty is conventional! Seeing the design and development process as a close observer is particularly interesting.
The World Solar Challenge also recalls an earlier pioneering spirit where international competition created the basis for the technological progress that we take for granted today. I support the effort and regard it as a great privilege to be able to contribute by helping to raise awareness of the issues involved.
