Artist Statement
Using paint, pens and pencils, conventional and digital, William produces drawings, caricatures, digital art and animations full of intrigue, surprise, detail and sometimes vivid colour. These translate well into merchandise such as pin badges, mugs and t shirts. Eclectic inspirations include celebrated comic book artists and cartoonists, from Mike Mignola to Hergé and Gerald Scarfe, with classic fiction writers of the 19th and 20th centuries, along with much older Japanese woodcuts.
Recent new work includes Wind in the Willows and Japanese folk horror. The adventures of an original comic book detective character are in development.
