Look out for new charcoal prints in the gallery x

Hi Kentish I'm Kent too but nearer London than deepest darkest Kent x

That's not the tip of it. My dad drew hundreds of charcoal pictures as well as over 1600 commissions, before he left the hunting and shooting scene to look after my mum. Absolutecharcoal.com is now trying to put all of Derek's charcoal drawings online for sale. (As we do not intend to stand in an often cold, wet, muddy field for 12 hours, well maybe we will attempt one eventually!) He had a shed and loft full, which my sister and I are slowly getting entered on a printer's computer, the prints are being digitally remastered, this process is not deflecting any of my dad's passion, exsquisit

Lovely he will remember when I ask him. He remembers all of the dogs he drew. He did remember Nipper x

I have added a pic of Derek and Jenni in the Gallery section x

We are relaunching my dad's prints, we still have hundreds of the old, origional ones, but now have a good selection on a printer's computer so we can print off when we need to and not house the prints as my dad used to in his loft, shed and under the bed. Absolute Charcoal has been going a week now. www.absolutecharcoal.com and facebook, twitter and on Ebay under art, contemporary, 1

Yes there was, my dad in his excitement to say that his prints were to be sold again, put the ad in prematurely as the website was not up and running. It is now and has a selection of dad's drawings on it. We are on Facebook, Twitter and Ebay. There are still many, many other prints of Derek's to be uploaded.

Hi guys, for those of you who remember my dad. Derek was born in Dartford, where he still lives, drawing from an early age, always for pleasure. Not until the 1970’s did the work become more dedicated. By 1980 Derek was experimenting and trying to perfect charcoal. 1983 was his first sale. Wife Jenni always knew she could sell Derek’s drawings. In 1988 Derek and Jenni went full time and the artwork blossomed. Derek kept to what he knew animals, terriers, lurchers and portraits of people; at one time with 71 prints available, doing his apprenticeship at Terrier Shows etc. Jenni was so
