Alderburgh 2009 practice


Aldeburgh 2009
Being homeless is no easy task and being an artist and homeless is even harder.
To create an art piece like this takes time effort and a lot of patience.
Yet only sometimes do people vandlise what you create.
Which is a shame because busking is hard when you create things like this but even harder when you sculpturise things.
This was a bit of practace before heading of to Brighton May 2009.
I love creating these mosiacs but I really love creating sculptures instead.
Now I can create boats in 3d with loose pebbles on a beach.
This mosiac took 4 hours to create.
Yet a sculpture takes days to create and sometimes weeks.

Dr Geebers The Pebblemans future goals

Dr Geebers The Pebbleman walked 6800 miles, created on 40 beaches and moved over 2000 tonnes of pebbles and stones to create art pieces like the one above.
Now he has started creating small miniature pieces of artwork like tea-candle holders and miniature sculptures for people to buy.
10% of all net profits of Dr Geebers The Pebblemans art pieces will be going to help homeless charities.
I started of being homeless myself and know how hard it is to try and turn your life back around.
I could not get sponsorship for my journey because I was simply homeless and creating art to survive.
I wasn’t on benefits because if you have been working it can take time to get such a thing. So you got to survive somehow and creating free art for the public was my way of giving something back.
I have been in more local newspapers and on the news in various places for creating my art.
I am in the process of writing a book about my journey and experiences along the way.
The proceeds of that book will also be going to help homeless charities.
I did not set of to do such a journey it simply happened because of a drunken bet between two homeless people in Brighton.
Now I have completed one heck of a trip on foot, living outside, with the support of local people where ever I went.
I would love to attempt the journey again in the future, only this time with two or three young homeless people and give them a chance to use their artistic skills. This could change their life’s around also.
Could also make a good documentary or film.
If anyone would like to help Dr Geebers The Pebbleman in the future to attempt this journey again please email: drgeebersthepebbleman@hotmail.co.uk
Thank You everyone.

Pictures Taken Of The Jocks Bay Display in Scotland



This was my attempt of a free standing lighthouse made from pebbles and stones at Jocks Bay Scotland. The lighthouse stood about 3 foot high.

This is the boat I created at Jocks bay with the whale along side which got me an artical in the Scottish Big Issue.

This is a photo of the fish shape stone I selected for putting in the mouth of the big whale.

Here is a photo of the whole display which took an amazing 6 weeks to complete out in the middle of nowhere. See the way I took in the landscape and introduced it into this picture . There is on average at least 20 tonnes if not more pebbles and stones man handled on this beach to create this master piece.

Here is another shot of the whale and boat with the grey/bue stones repersenting the water with even white water around the boat and whale.
Thank you all those people who stopped here to see me and to Koda woof woof.

Dr Geebers Pebbleman At St Bees 2010

Thank you to the big man who took this video for me after I moved 5-10 tonnes of pebbles and stones in unbelievable conditions.
Thank you to all those who helped me out.
