Self taught, Martin launched his professional career in the1980's with a series of highly successful prints of Clyde Steamers & Glasgow Tramcars.
Several corporate commissions followed including a number of popular "Readers Offers" for the Glasgow Herald. Other works were produced for Shipping Companies, Glasgow Passenger Transport Executive and Charities, including prints for Erskine Hospital for Disabled Ex-Servicemen and The Adventure Sailing Trust.
Original pieces sold to Camsail Fine Arts were still being produced and distributed as prints through various outlets including the famous Burrel Collection in Pollok Country Park in Glasgow.
Although Martins passion is the Sea and Ships more recently Martin has illustrated books written by his wife Soraya and published by Geddes & Grosset.
