I am an artist, designer & illustrator based in the northwest of the UK, specializing in detailed, unqiue character pin-ups, comic book style pieces & macabre illustrations for children. My work is highly influenced by my love of video games, graphic novels & Victorian art & literature.
For my digital artwork I use a Wacom Graphire4 tablet & although I can use Adobe Illustrator, Paint Shop Pro & other digital artwork software, I'd be lost without Photoshop CS3. My desktop is an iMac G5 & I store everything on 600Gb external hard drive (there isn't a computer in the world big enough to store all my random doodles).
I talk alot, eat alot & wear alot of eyeliner.
My favourite food is steak. I don't like mint (I can just about handle tooth paste). I don't smoke & I very rarely drink. I love gore, surgery & dead bodies. I very much dislike reality TV. I am attracted to more pixelated & animated men than real ones. That said, I do have a boyfriend & he's brilliant. I collect alternative children's picture books & read alot of anti-theistic/feminist novels & essays. I can beat most boys on most video games. I collect Batman comics. If it wasn't for chocolate, I'd be malnourished. My favourite colour is leopard print.
