Mr Mead is a fine artist & illustrator, inspired by Koji Morimoto, Shaun Tan and Remi Wyart. He is also influenced by American contemporary art, mostly the ones within the pages of Hi Fructose and Juxtapoz magazines. He is a traditional artist working in pen & ink mediums, often applying his practice to large scale character based pieces on wood. He is a permanent resident at the long established Jamaica Street Studios, where he works feverishly in his chaotic attic on the rooftop of the Bristol art scene. The artist is driven by his obsession and childhood fear of anthropomorphism. His work is a cathartic process to release his inner nightmares, after viewing at a premature age 'The Tales of Beatrix Potter', a 1976 Royal Ballet film.
