Gary Hodges is one of the UK`s leading wildlife artists and not without reason. It is not just his marvellous attention to detail, or his ability to create such a wide variety of textures and tones with pencil, his chosen medium, but it is his ability to capture the essence and personality of the animals he draws which sets him apart in my opinion. This website has been designed to provide the many collectors and admirers of his work with information on Gary Hodge`s work, both in the past and in the future. This site first came online in December 1999 and has grown steadily since, thanks largely to contributions by fellow collectors for all to share.
Please note, this is not Garys official website
I am simply a fan of his work and hope you enjoy your visit to this website.

Site Introduction
I started collecting Gary Hodges prints several years ago and became interested in
his other works. I began trying to catalogue his prints in April `99, mostly by searching the web, visiting galleries
and generally pestering friends for pictures and details of their prints. Now that the list is fairly comprehensive,
a web page seemed the easiest way to share Gary Hodges back catalogue. This site is mainly aimed at collectors who are already
familiar with Gary Hodges work but hopefully will be of some interest to those who have yet to discover this talented
artist`s work (Do try to get a look at a Gary Hodges print if you can!).
If you have any information which would be of relevance please
e-mail me at the address given at the bottom of this page.

Secondary Market
There is a great deal of interest in Gary Hodges` past prints, which although
rare, can still be found in the Secondary Market.
If you are interested in buying or selling any of his work, I may be able
to assist with current prices and availability of prints via the contacts
I have made in the construction of this site. It should be noted however, that the value of any
given print is affected by its rarity, condition, desirability and also market forces at a given time.
I am also always willing to expand my own collection. Please e-mail me at the address given at the bottom of this
page for any advice.
