Art Director of Playboy magazine, Chicago (1965) and the King Magazine,London (1966). Painter,etcher,illustrator and writer of children's books.His illustrative work is distinctive: he often works in colour or halftone,creating luminous effects with veils of thinly diluted pigment over delicate pencil outlines; in his etched illustrations,he uses soft ground techniques to achieve subtle tonal graduations.His imagery,ostensibly decorative, humorous or with a sometimes child-like appearance,often has menacing or bizarre overtones.
