I found an old rusted horse shoe in my backyard and one day I was looking at it and saw the ancient symbol of the serpent biting it's tale so I decided to carve it into the metal. It is interesting how unpredictable inspiration can be and where ideas can come from.
I am currently reading A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole for a book club. Which I am highly enjoying and was inspired to illustrate some of the characters in the book from his descriptions - the main Character Ignatius, his mother Mrs Reilly and Jones.
