Drain

Born in Eighty-Four, I found my passion in art at an early age. dan image Uncontrollably doodling my way through the schooling system I went on to study Animation and Graphic design. I now spend my time perusing all things creative regardless of it being digital, hand painted, 3D or outside for the world to see. I like them all. Most of my work is centred around an organic, fictitious world where the grotesque sits content along side beauty. I try to produce pieces that are clean, bold and colourful. The aim is to create works that look as if they were created using vector software but have been painted by hand. Inspiration can come from anywhere and anything, however I owe a lot to the cartoons and comic books of the early nineties as these where the things that led me in this direction. Acrylic paint is fast drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.
