Christmas is coming so check out the new items exclusively designed on the Malcywear page!!!!!

Let's sit back awhile and talk about........Me!!

In 1975 I fulfilled my childhood ambition and joined the Army. Having completed my first 12 months as a ‘boy soldier’ at the Royal Armoured Corps Junior Leaders Regiment at Bovington in Dorset, in 1976 I went into adult service as a 'Tankie' with the 3rd Royal Tank Regiment (known as ‘The Westcountry’s Own’ or ‘The Armoured Farmers’) to serve on Main Battle Tanks, eventually as a commander, until 1990. I now live with my family on Merseyside and create artwork in my ever decreasing amount of spare time. Unfortunately 3RTR ceased to exist in 1992 when it amalgamated with 2RTR but, the Regiment's family spirit lives on amongst my friends and myself and regularly, reunions keep our spirit of 'belonging' alive and well!

I have always provided Tank and Armoured Vehicle drawings and paintings for people and cherished cars and even motorcycles for others. I also create portraiture of people and their pets. Particularly of use in my work has been my time living on Tanks as it enables me to inject that 'little extra' realism to my military work. Most of my work has, to date, been on a commissioned artwork basis but, my fine Military art prints are becoming more and more popular even as Regimental Artworks to unit shops. I've designed pictures for sweatshirts and.....oh just name it and I've probably had a go at supplying it!! Therefore I have launched this website and, it will continue to grow and be updated on a regular basis as my portfolio increases.

Also on the website, you will find details of my book 'Armoured Farmer - A Tankie's Tale' published in 2007 and, how you can get hold of a copy.

I hope that you will explore and enjoy my work as much as I have creating it and, should you have an enquiry, please don't hesitate in contacting me, my details are to be found on the contact page. Even if you don't buy anything, your feedback as to site and product quality is encouraged and appreciated. I enjoy interacting with my clientbase and endeavour to always provide the 'Personal Touch' in my transactions.

Kindest Regards to you all

Malcy.
