As an artist, I see myself as someone who likes to expose the
truth behind what I draw. When drawing, I tend to exaggerate the ugliness of
something to make it unsettling. When I draw, I really enjoy drawing in comic
book style and sometimes cartoon style. I can draw in great detail and enjoy
recreating portraits of people as best I can, although I prefer making features
more extreme and caricatured generally. Although I don’t paint as much as I
draw, I feel that I can project my imagination better with paints. Problems I
face when drawing are usually to do with a lack of colours as I do not use them
enough. I take most of my influences from comic artist as I have been inspired
by comic book art for most of my life; including Greg Capullo, Frank Miller,
Todd MacFarlane, Jim Lee, Mike Mignola, Carlos Esquevera and many others.
Cartoons have a large influence on my work as well and I like to incorporate
their style into elements of drawings.
