Hola Hello! I am Mikey, an internationally published freelance illustrator based in Brighton, UK.

Since 2008 I have had work featured in various comic books and non-fiction books amongst various other illustration work.
 

My approach to is two fold

 

As an Illustrator: I love to tell stories with pictures and create characters with personality and intrigue which makes them ideal for children’s books and comic books.

 

My practice is part hand drawn part digital medium and more recent years I have been using traditional with Pen & Ink with watercolours.
My speciality is in Cartoons, Comic books and Character design and caricature.

 

My style of illustration is flexible. I can go from a very cartoony and caricatured style to a more realistic style making me  flexible in my approach to work.

As an Event Artist: I also enjoy capturing people in all kinds of places doing all kinds of thing. This began on my regular commutes as a way of understanding people, body language, personalitiy and how clothes define them and how they are worn.

This lead me to events, sketching performers at Open Mic Nights and Talent Shows from singer songwriters to Burlesque and Drag. I am now invited to events to capture events of all kinds, from personal celebrations to public performances.
