Phil's obsession with climbing began in 1973 on Staffordshire Gritstone - and has shown no signs of relenting.

A native of Stoke, Staffordshire shaped not only Phil’s climbing but his artistic direction: trained as a ceramic designer, he worked for Wedgwood and Moorcroft before freelancing as the pottery industry declined.

It was in 1979 that he provided a collection of drawings for the BMC Staffordshire gritstone guidebook, and it was from here that he found a real niche in illustrating crag architecture. He now has completed nearly 300 drawings for guidebooks, but now drawing and painting have become a full time occupation as the work becomes destined for the wall rather than the bookshelf.

Phil can work to commission as can be seen from his magnificent drawing of Lliwedd for the recent Climbers’ Club centenary celebrations.

His work is now available as fine art quality prints which can viewed in his Adobe pdf catalogue:
