ABOUT
Unfortunately Helen passed away in the summer of 2024, as her devoted, loving partner of 23 years I want to keep this site active and celebrate the amazing work Helen produced. Reflecting on her life, she described herself as a mixtape artist - something I think is very fitting to her stylistic choices and varied career. Whether it was horror film festival promotions, vegan activist groups, or commisions for famous inidviduals Helen liked to take on an eclectic range of work. But throughout all of it, her proudest moments involved seeing her work re-shared on social media by her favourite stars, including Edgar Wright (Baby Driver fan art) and Kyle Maclachlan (Twin Peaks Post Card fan art).
With this in mind, please respect the copyright of Helen's original creations.
Anyway, enough of my reflecting... here is Helen's original 'about me' section... in her own words:
I like to explore a variety of subjects and styles in my work which is hugely inspired by my love of 1980's & 90's pop culture, music, nature and the strange, unusual parts of all those things.
Graduating in 2005 with a BA(Hons) in Animation & Design lead to working as a freelance illustrator for over 17 years. In that time I have taken on many projects, which have included logo designs, book covers, merchandise & flyers, t-shirt designs, UI for MMORPG games, magazine feature artwork & countless private commissions.
Away from the glow of my drawing tablet I enjoy visiting local nature reserves & woodland trails, watching mystery based TV shows, rummaging in record stores and playing old video games
F.A.Q
Can I use your art for a tattoo?
That's absolutely fine as long as your tattoo artist is comfortable replicating another artists work and it was not made for someone else, always be sure to credit me if you share the finished tattoo online.
What supplies do you use to make your work?
For digital art my current working set up is: A Wacom Cintiq 22HD, running Photoshop CC15 on Windows 10, with Kyle Webster brushes.
I also use an iPad Pro 10.5 running Procreate.
All of my store and convention stock is printed on a Canon Pixma Pro 100s.
For my traditional art I mostly use Pentel Pocket & colour pens, Pigma Microns, Promarkers & Diamine Inks all on Daler Rowney mixed media acid free paper.
