He doesn't have any particular specialist subject matter, the themes of contrast, detail and reflection are usually present in his work with attention to detail. He works predominantly in colour pencil as this medium allows the artist total and absolute control of the creative process which is a key factor when graphic realism is the desired result. He is a signature member of the United Kingdom Coloured Pencil Society (UKCPS, which is currently the only body in the UK solely dedicated to championing the cause of coloured pencils, bringing it into the light and convincing others that it is indeed a serious fine art medium.

Website(s): http://www.modeemi.cs.tut.fi/~david/Alastair.html
Description:  Alastair Donald Begg was born in Scotland on 11th May 1951. He grew up at Lochailort, on the west coast, where his father was the Station Master. His mother was in charge of the local Post Office. His father Walter was a good fiddler and both Alastair and his brother Hamish started playing music at a young age.

After secondary school, he went to Glasgow where he obtained a degree in science and his teaching qualifications. He only taught for a couple of years before he started work in Museums. His work involved preserving varying types of artefacts, but he was also keenly interested in Scottish history and politics. He was proud of his Scottish origin. In 1984 he moved to Tromsø in Norway and started working at Tromsø Museum. However, he soon decided to return to university, and gained his `hovedfag' (close to a Master Degree) in Sociology. He was soon after awarded a three year stipend to do a `doctoral degree', and he finished the main work on his thesis just a short time before he died. In 1998 he was diagnosed as having a brain tumour, and he died a year later.

Alastair played the fiddle, the accordion, the Scottish Pipes, the Uileann Pipes, the tin whistle and enjoyed trying out new instruments. He had a wide range of interests including music, photography, genealogy and not the least politics. His friends knew him as somebody who would always lend an ear and who enjoyed a good discussion.

Who is Alastair Williamson?
Website(s): http://www.whereisalastair.com/
Description:  Alastair is traveling around the world and tracking his adventures on his website, www.whereisalastair.com. Here is his description from his 'About Me' page: "I was born in Bristol, England on 4th October 1977. I lived there until I was about 6 and then my family moved to the Cotswolds. Playing football in the road and building dens, that was pretty much what we did in the country and exploring of course! After asking for a computer for about 3 years Dad travelled half way across the country and bought our first PC! This was where my passion for I.T. began.

Over 6 years I had worked as a Network Manager, Network Architect, Professional Trainer and a Data Integration Analyst. I now (or at least I did...) work as a Senior Business Consultant for a respectable company in London. I've flown many countries on business and been to 8 more personally. It's time to really see the world and report back what's really out there. The main theme of my trip is to see the Natural Wonders of the world."

Who is Alastair McMullan?
Website(s): http://www.bikepics.com/members/hairybiker/
Description:  He says is better than I can - so I will quote from his page: Alastair is a strange, almost ethereal creature. Who can plumb the hidden mysteries of his dark and murky past? A past which contains a terrible secret. A secret that taught him that with great power comes great responsibility, that criminals are a cowardly superstitious lot and just who exactly knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men. By day, he assumes the appearance of a mild mannered Multimedia Officer, bringing the joy of Powerpoint and digital cameras to classes of enthralled and enthusiastic students. But by night? By night he goes home and writes lesson plans. Sorry. That´s as interesting as he gets. Really. The rumours about rooftop struggles with underworld superfiends, the gossip about the hidden cave filled with hi-tech equipment and the suggestion that his motorbike might be fitted with turbo lasers are all nonsense. When he´s not teaching he reads comics. Sometimes he combines the two activities. When he´s not doing that he´s either biking, drinking, working out at the gym, playing computer games, brewing his own beer, or asleep.

Who is Alastair MacIntosh?
Website(s): http://www.macintoshglass.com
Description: He says is better than I can - so I will quote from his page: "At Edinburgh College of Art, where I was a student intending to specialise in Graphic Design, there was a Glass Design Department.  Curiosity got the better of me one day and I decided to try out glass as a secondary design subject.  Ken Wainwright, the master glassmaker, showed me the furnace and how to gather the 'metal' - (molten glass). As my first attempt to do this flowed off the end of the iron and on to the floor, I realised that glassmaking was not going to be as easy as it looked, but knew right away that I had to learn it! ........... I'm still learning, more than 30 years later.

I joined the Caithness Glass Design team in 1987, based in Perth and made a contribution to design and development of paperweights in particular, as well as art-glass and corporate specials. These often consisted of exclusive designs for giftware or collectable items, and also trophies and awards for sport and business.

In 2003  I  left Caithness Glass and now  design and make glass under my own name.  Glass is a remarkable material for any artist to work with. It can be incredibly strong and yet brittle. It has a clarity and beauty of its own. It has been a source of wonder and fascination to me for many years and I hope that it will give you insight and inspiration too. "

Description: In his own words (and spoken like a true writer): "Whilst at Edinburgh and Oxford Universities Alastair undertook several expeditions, cycling from Pakistan to China (Karakoram Highway), Land's End to John O'Groats, Turkey to Italy, Mexico to Panama and across South America. Alastair ran a charity project in the Philippines and the London marathon dressed as a rhino. After Oxford Alastair cycled round the world for 4 years.

Travelling round the soccer World Cup in a camper van was much more fun.

He pays the bills through public speaking, fulfilling a long ambition in 2008 by speaking to a full house at the Royal Geographical Society.
