WIL SHRIKE ART

I'm 32 years of age, and I do what I have been doing since a toddler for a living, I'm just blessed to live in an age where that is possible. It's difficult not to use the cliché line ‘from an early age yada yada'… but I literally drew monsters and movie characters from as soon as I could hold a pencil. My late mother was and is every day a constant source of inspiration and I feel she is watching over my shoulder on every design I produce. Each year of my life, my audience has grown just that little bit more. Now I am truly fortunate to be doing this for a living. I've had many a job from corporate, supermarkets, making prosthetics and even opened and owned a Café with my girlfriend for 4 years, all awhile building my style and repertoire behind the scenes. I'm inspired by many things most people seek to avoid. I use mental health conditions, wars, crime etc as inspiration. I'm a ‘happy' person on the surface, but I like to thing my art portrays my inner self, a side that I don't..
