Someone kindly added a reference to me once before at this site, but it was deleted because of a lack of information or authentication, so I have supplied some information and references myself. The article has been criticised and tagged as spam and self promotion and I’ll attempt to address these issues here. Spam: This is just insulting. A quick look at my site will reveal that no paintings are sold or commissions taken, so I’m not selling anything, and I certainly don’t feel the need to promote myself at this site. It’s hard not to be offended by accusations of spam, and if they persist I will delete the article myself. Conflict of interest: I have just supplied basic information for the sake of completeness and the article is no different from that of my contemporaries listed under trompe l’oeil and Australian artists. If the information is correct, the fact that I have supplied it should not be relevant. Notability is not established: This I think is a valid argument: It is for others to decide whether or not I am a significant influence in the field of contemporary trompe l’oeil.
