How did you get started in art and illustration?
(more questions)
Ever since a very young age i've had a passion for drwing and art. I studied art and design at art college and specialised in graphic design. I usually combine typography, illustration and photography into my work and always aim to make it as organic as possible. I find it essential in my work to give it a spontatious feel, I think this helps retain the energy that's put into it.

What advice would you give to illustrators?
(more questions)
Be passionate. Never give up and always push yourself. Seeing your work out there on album covers and magazines is one of the most rewarding things that i've experienced. always try and get a credit on the work with a web link or email address, you never know who's going to see your illustrations and could lead to further commissions. Try and get as much exposure as possible good work speaks for itself.
