He uses biro, postit notes, dates stampers, markers, typex and lamination in his work.

Portraits

Anthony makes portraits for clients using the humble date-stamper, constructing an image of person made of dates, events, names and key words most significant to their lives. The result has been described as astonishing, as the recipient owns a work like no other. The portrait takes shape as a striking depiction of that person/s yet on closer inspection is completed with thousands of individual ink stamps on a canvas creating a new type of biographical portrait with a broad appeal.
