 Personal information:
Born in York, moved to Leeds as a teenager and after leaving school began working in Advertising, specifically graphic design. I left Leeds in 1994 to move to London, where I studied illustration at Middlesex University and later to study a post graduate course at the London Institute of Printing, where I focussed my illustration in screen-printing. I lived in London for 10 years working in both aspects of design and illustration.
In 2004 I returned to York and continued to work within the advertising industry. For the last 2 years I have been working freelance under the name of CutGraphics, which is based in Gillygate, York. Despite the recession CutGraphics has grown and I am now wanting to expand into the illustration/art and web design/digital markets.
Influences:
As a young boy living in York, with the rich History of the GNER and the National Railway Museum obviously influenced my work. The GNER posters of Tom Purvis are still a point of reference for me. This style lends itself very well to my graphics and screen-printing training.
Other influences include comic illustrator Dave Mckean, photographer Joel Peter Witkin and Artist Joseph Cornell.
My current work:
Since leaving London, I have tried to get access to screen-printing facilities. Unable to do so I have tried to re-create the screen-printed look using original sketches, a computer and vivid bold colours.
I see computers as merely a tool to get to your desired outcome and with these series of prints I believe that I have achieved this.
