Creative clutter This veteran comic illustrator is proud to display his sources of inspiration and fresh ideas.
I’ve set up my studio in the smallest room in the house. It’s my favourite place in the world, but the workspace needs to be controlled. My ‘rabbit hole’ is truly a place where you can find yourself lost in, if you’re not careful…
Ever since I was a young boy I’ve had a drawing corner filled with things of interest to me, and my studio is no different. I love the controlled clutter, and the business of it all, but put a piece of paper in front of me and I’m still able to quieten my mind. I live just a minute away from the beach in Whitley Bay, north-east England, so my day starts with my girlfriend and I walking our cockapoo, Dolly. But by 10 in the morning I’m sat in the studio, under starter’s orders.
Typically I hit the ground running if I’m faced with a deadline. Drawing a comic book for Marvel requires a certain amount of work produced every day, so there’s not much time to let the mind wander.
