With the ability to draw a cartoon portrait in just 2 minutes, Osborne has established himself as one of the fastest felt-tips in the business – and to date has drawn over 48,000 caricatures at private and corporate events nationally. That hardly sounds like a man who once claimed his dream was to pursue “the two day working fortnight and the 3 day lunch”.

Inspired by nature, my work reflects the effects fate, or destiny has on our lives. I paint in acrylics on canvas, and make ceramic sculptural works which are fired using a wood-fired kiln, enabling nature to change their appearance. My present work expresses the importance of our basic connections with the earth, and the acceptance of our noble instincts.
