About Me

Will Pointer was born in Norwich, UK. From as long as he can remember he has always doodled, scribbled and drawn, whether it was as a finished piece of work, or a doodle in the back of his school french book.His work has developed from his early interest in cartoons and animation, and the traditional effects the processes etching and woodblock gave. Detail plays a big part in Will's work and he has always appreciated and respected artists that put a lot of time and labour into their illustrations.I love drawing with my black pens and look at any subject matter, although fashion especially plays a large part in my inspiration. I have quite a traditional approach to my illustrations, I like hand-drawing if possible and contrast my images with pattern backgrounds I create on my mac.Will did a Foundation Course in 2001 at The Norwich School Of Art & Design, then journeyed his way down south to do a Degree in Illustration at The University Of Brighton in 2002. Will graduated in 2005 and is currently working as an Illustrator & Designer in Norwich, UK. To view Will's main portfolio log onto www.willpointer.co.uk

(Mark Knopfler will always be close to my heart) ...I'm not going to list all the 'wicked' artists I love because it takes up too much space ..(If you're really that interested check myspace.com/drpoindexter to see some of my influences and faves ..Word!)
