When did you first become interested in art?
From quite young, as a kid I tried to emulate (copy) the work of 2000AD artists, such as Brian Bolland and Carlos Ezquerra and it just grew from there.
How would you describe your design style?
Difficult question. Typographic pop geekery.
What inspires you?
Cinema, music, books, the art community in Glasgow, you need a good group of people around you to push you creatively.
What is your favourite piece in your collection?
Probably The Man Who Fell To Earth, it combines my obsession with Bowie, cinema and sci-fi.
Is there any artistic talent in your family?
The dog is a very accomplished dancer with a background in contemporary ballet.
What is the journey you take to produce your work?
Idea, tea, type, tea, colour, tea, song break, delete, new idea, repeat.
What made you want to be a part of Art Rookie?
A lovely email invite and I liked the fact you’re based here.
When you’re not creating masterpieces what do you enjoy doing?
Watching movies and reading, hiking in the Scottish hills when I’m forced outdoors.
Have you faced any struggles getting your work noticed?
I think I’ve been quite lucky so far, I had to change medium from photography to what I do now and managed to get into a young gallery here in Glasgow quite early on and haven’t looked back.
Where would we find you hanging out in the UK?
Glasgow, top city, one of the best art and music scenes around.
What makes British talent different than elsewhere?
Regular tea breaks.
What are your plans for 2016?
I’m not known for having a plan, if I make it to dinner I’m happy.
