About Me

My name is Eric Robertson and I am from Greenock. I have a keen interest in my local area and I started out sketching “Old Greenock” street scenes and buildings back in the mid 1980's.

Some of you may remember me standing in the underpass next to 'Mothercare' in Greenock Town Centre? I used to display my work there to sell photocopy reproductions of my drawings using a street traders permit.

Greenock Prints has now moved on, as has technology. My 'line drawings' are now all digitised and stored on my computer which makes things a lot easier for me and my customers.

I used to take my drawings into the local printer to get them photocopied now all I do is scan the pictures and send them off to the printer by email ensuring the quality is still there.

It is astonishing what can be done with digital technology as when I started photocopying my drawings in 1985 the only modern techology available was the black & white photocopier - how times have changed!

I hope you enjoy my new website!
