I'm Tony, I'm a recovering Alcoholic,
( 6 years sober ) I Sketch to aid my sobriety

Most of my artworks are available as framed prints, greeting cards and drinks coasters. I’m not sure when I changed from social drinker to full blown Alcoholic, it sort of sneaked up.. but it happened none the less, all I know is, it very nearly destroyed not only myself but everyone around me and it took a long

time to admit I had a problem... but i did and that's a great step forward in the recovery process. with a lot of help from family, (my wife sarah, especially) friends and professionals I started my journey. Along the way sobriety starts to give you many things back, like small mile stones, gratitude, humility, happiness, strength, self worth, along with which came my re ignited interest in sketching... drawing initially to convey my feelings in group meetings and to keep from boredom and the booze...
It soon became clear my modest skills were coming back and people.. ‘friends’ liked my work.. and started asking for ‘commissions’ who'd of thought... not me anyway, that people considered my sketches good enough to want one ? and so it has escalated.
was a mantra I used as a grounding tool, simple really ‘ drink or draw ’ now the goal is to use across social media to promote sobriety and hopefully inspire just one person to make a positive step away from the disease and change to their lives. Help is all around you, and it’s OK to get help, you don’t have to go it alone.. The hardest step is admitting to yourself you might have a drink problem, but that’s a great relief and a massive step forward to change.. so although I can’t endorse any group or association, I’ve added a link below to help you find your new self... Believe me its worth it. https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/alcohol-support/

The 10,000 hour philosophy

When I look at these sketches, I don’t just see drawings. I see proof of what can happen when we keep showing up.

This post isn’t really about art.
It’s about growth.

It’s about the incredible things that become possible when we dedicate ourselves to learning, practise with purpose, and believe that improvement is always within reach.

Over the last seven years of sobriety, I’ve learned that meaningful change rarely happens overnight. It comes from thousands of small decisions, repeated day after day, even when progress feels slow. That same mindset is what I’ve brought to sketching.

The difference between 2020 and 2026 isn’t talent— it’s time, consistency, patience, and the willingness to keep going.

I’m not at 10,000 hours yet, but these sketches remind me that every hour matters. Every attempt, every mistake, every lesson learned is a step forward.

If there’s something you’ve always wanted to get better at, keep going. You might be far closer than you think. One day you’ll look back and realise that all those small efforts added up to something you once thought was impossible.
