About Me


PLEASE ADD THIS BANNER
Copy & Paste the code below into your "about me section"
I began as a freehand artist and painter, I don’t ever remember a time in my life when I was not drawing or painting. After Graduating I began working as a digital artist in Wolver Hampton, and later photography; working as a professional photographer for 3 years before deciding to take a well needed time out. I take inspiration from a variety of sources, mainly personal experiences, various states of self awareness, and philosophy. Music (especially black and doom metal) plays an important part in this process for me, this helps to create an atmosphere to work within and help focus. I feel that by remaining diverse and not restricting the development of ideas and subject matter comes across in the final piece.
I have been working on a few small commissioned pieces to keep me going while I’m away. So I will have some more fine art work for my portfolio to be displayed on paper, canvas, walls and skin.
Enjoying the break from Photography in all honesty; getting back to basics is always very important for any visual artist to do. The return to photography however does not include modeling or portrait photography after working in that area for over 2 years I found how suffocating and uninspiring that type of photography is for me.
***I AM LOOKING FOR A TATTOO APPRENTISHIP, MORE HAND DRAWN WORK TO BE ADDED TO MY PHOTO'S SOON. ALL INTERESTED ARTISTS PLEASE MAIL ME FOR MORE SAMPLES OF MY WORK.***
