I am broad based visual artist and illustrator working within a number of fields from street art and murals to illustration and education for the past two years I have spent time working in and around the North East of the UK, working on large scale painting projects, exhibitions and exciting culture projects from Brazilian music showcases to music promotions and one off events to change the landscape in which I reside. I also volunteer (which is good for the soul) at the Comfrey Project utilising my skills to work with Refugees and Asylum Seekers.I previously spent 15 years within the design industry (specifically music, arts and culture) and ran an international digital record label so have a very transferable range of skills.If you would like to work (I'm very positive) with me or think I can add something to you can message me via linked in

Graphic Designer at Calm digital, Middlesbrough producing creative work for websites, print and branding

An ambitious campaign has been launched to celebrate the North’s creative and digital media sector, while generating hundreds of opportunities for young people.Creative North, which seeks to showcase the wealth of talent in the region and tackle perceptions that relocating is necessary for success, is being led by apprenticeship provider the Youth Training Academy.By 2016, the plan is to engage 100 schools and colleges, as well as 500 creative and digital media businesses with the project. Ultimately, it is hoped 200 jobs can be created for young people within the region, with another 100 being drawn to the North through the opportunities offered.The campaign is the brainchild of Youth Training Academy managing director Rob Earnshaw, who has himself thrived in the creative world while remaining in his home region.Crucial to the campaign will be a number of Creative Champions – inspiring individuals who can highlight the region’s strengths while working to inspire young people. Already, about 40 – including Herb Kim of Thinking Digital and Brian Jobling of Eutechnyx – have pledged their support.The plan now is to highlight the work of such supporters through online videos and articles, ultimately giving them ownership by providing a central point to highlight opportunities.“There are about 3,000 creative and digital media businesses in the North of England and I think our goals are quite easily achievable,” Earnshaw added.Article: http://www.thejournal.co.uk/business/business-news/campaign-aims-showcase-norths-creative-7737699
