‘I like films, I look at my books at home, I do a lot of artwork indoors when I get a chance. 

I do a lot of drawings, I like watching films. I just draw anything, I like drawing things (about) Egypt and I do some planes a lot, war planes. 

This piece I have never done that before, it feels very good. I'm glad I got this piece done. I'm happy that it's finished, it took me a long time. 

It was inspired by going to the seaside and when looking at a Cornish artist called Leigh Davis.’

The piece started with the drawing of a cliff and rocks and the sea, then Lee worked in abstract drawings over the top. 

‘This piece makes me chill out and relax.’
