Ken’s work combines photographic, digital, 3D and traditional elements. He also studied sculpture at college, making him a creative all-rounder. But it’s his artwork for rock and metal bands that he’s most proud of, which has seen his work published internationally.
1 Shauna “This image is made up of 3D elements, abstract drawing and my own photography. It was created from start to finish on my bus commute to work. When you travel four hours a day you can get a lot done.”
2 Fear Candy Jack “This piece was created from a photo of a friend with a fantastic beard. Again, it’s a combination of photos and 3D with textures and digital painting. I painted it over two bus journeys.”
3 Orchestrating the Apocalypse “This piece was created for the metal band Warfather. The image is of the apocalypse, but with the idea of the earth resetting itself rather than destruction. Ideas from the Mayan calendar influenced the idea of a sorceress controlling our world like a puppet.”
