I am seeking employment as a freelance artist and graphic designer. I am a talented artist and have a real passion for contemporary design. I can produce high quality illustrations, large scale paintings in a range of media and can paint directly from photographs. With regard to graphic design I can produce logos, posters, flyers, magazine design and promotional material such as invitations. I often incorporate my artwork into my designs to create a very original look. I have held my own exhibitions and currently sell artwork in a number of galleries. I have work experience in a print environment as I worked as a Mac Operator for Scottish and Universal Newspapers. I am proficient in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Flash, I enjoy creating digital artwork and experimental typography. My influences include John Constable, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Sir William Blake and Neville Brody. I am available for work and can create art and design remotely from home.
