Artist’s
Statement:
Having graduated
with a Media Studies degree but, surprise surprise, not instantly being
appointed Director General of the BBC as I had planned, I decided to channel
years of continuous doodling into something more focused. Working for
a small theatre arts company I have provided illustrations for each of
their annual pantomimes. These images include advert/poster images, images
for teaching packs that accompany shows performed in schools etc.
The images
in the gallery here show a few of my different styles. Whilst all are
figurative I feel that each style is quite distinctive. Pictures 1-4 are
examples of my full colour work in which strong lines and bright colours
are combined to present well defined characters. Pictures 5, 6 and 7 show
my black and white line work - images which were designed for “colouring-in”.
Pictures 8-10 are my in less structured style which again uses strong
line work to created strong characters.
I feel my
work is fun, funny and attractive. I’m looking to draw for children’s
book, greetings cards and all the usual suspects so if you like what you
see or want to see some more please get in touch!
