Stylistically, my artwork is influenced heavily by the (largely pencil, gouache and airbrush) illustration that was popular when I was growing up in the 80s and early 90s. As a kid so many magazine, film and game covers didn’t just arouse my interest but practically leapt off the shelves to pummel my senses and drag me over to them, and I never forgot the impact of work by artists such as Bob Wakelin, Glenn Fabry, Drew Struzan, Simon Bisley, Oliver Frey, Dermot Power... there’s a long list from this period, but I’ll spare you.
