A non-booky topic

February 22, 2011

I found this artist today during my lunch break as I was net hopping, he wasn't lurking in the kitchen or anything sinister like that. His name is Craig Shuttlewood and he uses photos and prints to make fantastic pictures of urban decay. I really loved the owls (big surprise!) so thought I would spread the word. I particularly loved the mixed medium paintings as the build up of layers gives it a really chewy texture.

Chicken & Owl is by far my favourite.

Uber cool art and he just illustrated a children's book for Orion, what a talented person!

Here's his website http://www.shuttlewood.me/
