According to my parents, I have been drawing since i could hold a pencil, a quiet, content child, happy to spend hours scribbling, from paper to almost anything i could make a mark on school books, vehicles and walls... the list goes on..
I suppose my style ended up as a product of not listening to anyone, especially my art teachers and doing what i wanted to do. Many say that my work is illustrative or reminds them of comic book art, others say that it is thought provoking & exicting.
My influences come from many places but in terms of art and film I would have to say.. Beardsley, Bosch, Hewlett, Burton and Gilliam.
My work is ink on whatever with not much of an idea to begin with.. just a need to draw and a blank canvas. No pencil is laid down beforehand, which makes little room for mistakes but if anything unexpected happens then i just go with it , a small drawing then evolves and expands to a bigger finshed piece, there is almost always narrative in the way that the pictures and characters link together. Although not everyone sees. |
