What else makes you want to draw?
Seeing other people’s work really inspires me. I use Instagram a lot and recognize social media as a massively important part of my process. Not only does it inspire me but it allows me to share my work with a wider audience and ultimately it also brings me in work and clients.

Can you share your favourite Instagram pages, which you feel bring you the most inspiration?
David Shrigley has always been my favourite artist so I love following him. He has inspired me since my painting days, I love seeing what he comes up with and I frequently check in on his account to see what he is putting out there.

Thumbs is another one of my favourite artists and a huge inspiration to me. I’m actually looking at an MF Doom print of his which is right in front of me.

Locally, there is an artist called Superfreak, also based in Birmingham. We have a similar style but he is a few years ahead of me.

Fockawolf is super cool. He creates fake news billboards and is brilliant.

As far as brands go, I always check in with The Hundreds and Billionaire Boys Club – two of my favourite brands from both a personal and professional/ creative point of view.

How did your collaboration with The Hundreds come about?
I used to draw Adam Bomb a lot but moved on to experimenting with type work and decided to play around with The Hundreds Bar Logo and reimagine it in my style. It was as simple as that in terms of creating the graphic. I uploaded my design to Instagram and tagged Bobby, Ben, and The Hundreds in the post, just in case they might see it. I wasn’t really expecting a like or a comment, never mind a proposal from Bobby suggesting that we turn it into a t-shirt. That was huge.
