Alasdair Bright has been a freelance illustrator since 2001 and works from home in the Castle Road area. He particularly loves drawing, whether using a Wacom stylus or an old fountain pen, and uses Photoshop to colour his digital work.

Alasdair also produces ink and watercolour images, which he exhibits through the Eagle Gallery. These pictures often include people and places around Bedford, but he is also rather fond of drawing wildlife giving him a great excuse to head off to the coast.

Artwork:


David likes to use traditional drawing tools such as pens, pencils, watercolours and pencil crayons but sometimes uses Photoshop to add texture and to ‘tidy up’ his fingerprints and smudges.

His illustrations have appeared in magazines, children’s books, album covers, on t-shirts and as part of marketing campaigns.

David recently completed a self-initiated ‘Drawing A Day’ project in which he created one illustration a day for a year and put them on-line for the world to see and critique. The 365 drawings from the project have been exhibited in a number of gallery spaces around the U.K.

Artwork:

Hello, I grew up in the middle of nowhere - well a tiny village near the peak district. I have always loved stories, drawing, ice magic chocolate sauce and woolly socks.

I worked as a textile designer before making the decision to concentrate on my own illustrations. I use mixed media techniques, a combination of pattern, drawing, collage and sometimes embroidery techniques. I have just recently shown at the affordable art fair spring show and am represented by Dadbrook gallery, Avery Contemporary Arts and Degreeart.com.

My illustrations are available to purchase as prints cards or original artwork and I take commissions for personal projects, please get in touch lovely people.

Stuart Adams

Stuart enjoys creating imaginary cities and drawing daydreams onto paper. The best way to describe his artwork is to say that it’s like taking a mystery tour bus through a city where Hieronymus Bosch morphs into Disney World.

The nucleus of his work begins with the imagery that he loved from his childhood. Characters are often taken from Stuart’s sketchbooks and then collaged together to form abstracted narratives.

He is inspired by Naïve Art, retro computer game visuals, The CoBrA movement, light shows and the music of Captain Beefheart.

James been a professional model maker and sculptor for 15 years working in a number of different areas and mediums.

To express his more creative side he likes to design creatures and characters both in 2D and 3D and has exhibited his pieces in a number of galleries and stores.

This piece taps into James’s love of movie and music posters. He has given it a narrative, filmic feel despite it being for a sports event. It also explores his love of simple lines and flat bold colours, something that he brings into to both his 2D and 3D work.
