Terence learnt how to sharpen a pencil at the London College of Printing and later how to use crayons at the Royal Collage of Art.
Spent his younger years applying these skills employed as an Art director and latterly as a Creative Director in some of London’s best (and worst) Advertising Agencies. He decided to stop his involvement in advertising products that you really couldn’t live without at the turn of the last century.
Having always loved sculpting with clay and tinkering with real cars plus writing a monthly column for one of the leading UK Hot Rod magazines. After some trial and error ‘Speed Freaks’ was born! And then, some 13 years later due to all sorts of reasons related to mass production in China and the very strange world of the giftware industry, decided to kill it off, concentrating on what you’ll find contained within this web site today.
Speed Freaks was a fun filled, crazy ride and most petrol-heads have one of Terence’s speedy, exaggerated cartoon sculptures tucked away. They were mass produced and sold all over the World. You can still buy them today, found on most of the internet sales sites…. (ebay!) Some of the now rare editions go for eye watering amounts of money.
Whilst still entrenched in the world of Speed Freaks, Terence created a large scale Rossi MOTOGP sculpture. This was exhibited as part of the famous summer exhibition at the RA. This acceptance by his peers as to not just produce automotive art that appeals only to car and bike fans opened his portfolio to a much wider audience. People who collect art, all kinds of art, both male and female, young and old from all over the world now buy and collect his work, from famous racing drivers, MotoGP riders to the ever enthusiastic Speed Freaks fans!
He exhibits at Goodwood, Retromobile, The Royal Academy, The RAC club, The Mall gallery, plus a number of private galleries and car related shows as and when the opportunities arrive.
Based in London his studio is part of his home where visitors are most welcome. Make contact to arrange an appointment to see these amazing creations with your own eyes. But be warned, it is like being seven years old again and visiting a sweet shop for the very first time.
