Interests and Personality
| Biography | See my web-site at www.akaowenarts.com
I graduated from Wolverhampton University (then Poly) in '89 with a BA (Hons) Graphic Design. Got a job as a waiter and learned all about people. Got a job in the National Gallery London and learned about Art snobbery but had a great time and finally loosened up and started enjoying my creativity again. I drew and painted non-stop, then one day a friend managed to get me a job illustrating for an Ad agecy in London. Since then I have worked as an Illustrator/Visualiser for a number of Advertising companies in London. At first my work was mainly Magic marker based but as time progressed I started producing illustrations in a variety of media and in many styles, both traditional and digital. I have been working freelance for 5 years now producing magic marker visuals, storyboards and illustrations for the Communications industry in London, Birmingham, Bristol and the South West. |
