I studied art and design at Cornwall College of Art and Plymouth University way back in the early 80′s. I have had a successful career as a civil servant but have also produced abstract photographic artwork for many years on a semi-professional basis. My colleague and I recently established a company called Pickford Studios and are now producing high quality, contemporary, non-limited and limited-edition prints for domestic customers, but also for the hotel, restaurant, office and interior design trades. On our website, we currently have 12 portfolios of 12 prints (each print has a run of 150), so there is something there for everyone. Our prints are reproduced using the ‘Giclee’ process – arguably the highest quality digital printing process available – and we only print on superior quality Hahnemuhle paper.

I believe our artwork speaks for itself. But we pride ourselves on using only the best materials and best means to reproduce that artwork for our customers.

RavinderFrank are a duet of digital artists working as a jugalbandhi where, the whole is bigger then the sums of it parts. Their work medium is digital photo montages, complemented with mixed media and textile art. They mix old school with the latest tech.

Their work makes a heavy use of textual noises and layers to mashup and twist existing images into something new and unexpected.

They are part of the xross-polynation artistic collective which aims to blur the boundaries between race, age, sex, nations and any other boundary you can think of.

They have taken the ideas of Xross-polynation forward upon a blank canvas with the creative harmony and esthetic discord between an Indian and a British artist.

My art background is in sculpture, but photography has always been a passion of mine, from documenting my art work to projecting images digitally in to installation spaces. I now use photography as a creative tool to explore environments that have a sense of time and place and often find themes of abandonment within my work.

I also collect and display found 35mm slides, which I have bought from boot fairs, charity shops and auctions, these can be found on my art blog – www.beamtwenty3.org.uk

I also teach graphic design part time at Canterbury college, am a freelance web designer and run a creative arts collective that manages several websites, including this one.

I am fascinated by the use of the computer in creating my art, have been since I bought my first one about 10 years ago.
I start with doodles, lines and shapes and then put them through Illustrator and Photoshop.
I am also currently looking at generating artwork with code in Flash.

Inspiration takes the form of music, nature, architecture, geometry, colours, photography and cliche as it might sound, dreams.

I’m a self-taught illustrator and artist from Barnehurst in Kent with a passion for drawing, characters especially. I love to give everything a face, a personality or an expression.

I love using ball-point pens to draw with and fear they are overlooked as a serious art tool. I also love using pencils, spraypaints and Uni Posca paint pens too. They rock. I also love creating art with a Mac and a mouse.

I’ve never been one to conform, which is probably why I never sought further education in my chosen field, but I feel happy. I enjoy a healthy mix of personal projects and commission work, which suits me fine.

I’m A local Artist from South East Kent, my work isn’t to one art medium in particular it is a lot more varied. I  like to explore with a wide range of materials and processes. I feel my work as a whole, covers a range of techniques.

My current images of Skinscapes and Bodyscapes use the body and both its imperfections and perfections to create unexpected shapes often being more reminiscent of nature or a landscape than a human body. My intention in doing this is to make you really look and be aware of actually seeing, and noticing things you have not seen before, rather than taking it as its original impact of being “just a body part”.
