About Me


I am an artist/designer based Newcastle Upon Tyne. Since graduating from Northumbria University in 2004 I have specialised in Product and Furniture Design, Graphic and Web Design and more recently in “pop art” style paintings and prints. My new collection of paintings are reminiscent of Andy Warhol’s iconic screen prints, but here I am capturing images influenced by my own eclectic taste in music, film, fashion, and architecture. These subjects are very important to me, as I believe that they create a powerful image of a moment in time. With my paintings I have taken a nostalgic look at the key images of my life, and the music that has influenced me over the years, capturing the very essence of the importance of these images in today’s culture. All of the images you see in the gallery (or website) can be painted in any colour, on canvas or digitally printed onto any of the mediums seen in this website. Private commissions are welcome. For further information please visit my website www.jcartdesign.co.uk where you can find additional information on prices, colours and size variations.
