I'm an artist based in the uk. I run a global service creating custom tattoo designs to order. Clients send over a brief and I create something that represents everything the client wants. I am now turning my designs into paintings with all sorts of mixed media and at my exhibition I will be transforming an old Morris Minor car into a piece of art covered in my designs! A percentage of proceeds from my exhibition will go to Alzheimer's research. I paint and draw because it helps me to deal with my severe anxiety which sometimes makes me feel like I'm caged inside my body and like I'm stuck inside my head. It's a great release for me and I was just lucky to be able to make a business out of it! I collaborated with Dr Martens to draw on shoes in store. I will attach the video link!
