Due to circumstances way beyond my control, I found myself alone in Woy Woy, on the NSW Central Coast.

With nothing better to do (and because I couldn't afford to drink), I began watching people.

I discovered that ordinary people, doing ordinary things, are quite extraordinary!
What is their story?
Why are they here?
What are they thinking?
I found myself with the time to see how funny, sad and interesting people can be.

My intense studying and gazing of people was at one time questioned by the police.
Following this incident, I locked myself away and taught myself the best way of recording my impressions.
This collection of my drawings portrays the idiosyncrasies of these everyday people.
