The Story: The Shore Leave Collection is a set of three prints that any lover of black and white line drawings full of artistic metaphors would be proud to hang on their wall. ‘Carrying Baggage’, ‘Something Fishy’ and ‘Where do you draw the line?’ are a stunning set suited for homes and offices alike.
‘Carrying Baggage’ is a piece about the stories and narratives you carry around inside yourself.
‘Something Fishy’ is a metaphor for evolution and changing patterns of behaviours.
‘Where do you draw the line?’ Don’t let your mind talk you out of doing something before you’ve started. This illustration is about the courage to start something and having the motivation to see it through to the end. (Line = Starting / Finish line, Lion = Courage, Surfer = Drive and motivation).

In the heart of London, Pete, a British-Vietnamese artist, channels his intense focus, a gift often linked to his autism, to craft intricate, metaphor-laden narratives. With a background in software engineering, Peter spent a remarkable 11 years in the corporate banking world, collaborating with top-tier banks globally as a 'System Analyst.' However, he traded his successful corporate career for a more modest life dedicated to his true passion: art.
A pivotal chapter in Peter's life, dubbed 'the Spanish Inquisition,' fuelled his artistic inspiration. When words fell short, art became his eloquent voice, prompting him to set aside his pen. His storytelling art now stands as a testament to his creative legacy.
Today, Peter shares his experiences with mental health and the tools that aided his personal journey through a unique and one-of-a-kind art collection. His work not only reflects the profound impact of art as a medium for self-expression but also offers solace, understanding, and hope to those who encounter it, bringing his cinematic journey to life on paper.
