So I wasn't kidding when I said I'd see you on the next post! This is me, and the face behind Bec Broomhall!

I am an artist currently living and working in Wolverhampton, and graduated from Fine Art at the University of Wolverhampton in 2013.  Although I started off as an abstract artist way back during my degree, a year or so after graduating I decided to pursue my original love of portraits, aiming for a more illustration based practice. 

Drawn to a love of comic book art and cover art - as well as pop culture, I work with both digital drawing/painting in creating my own character portraits as well as iconic faces. I'm also drawn to the alternative and retro 80s and 90s, cult pop figures, films and music. I enjoy exploring solid lines and bold uplifting colours. My work always begins with small, quick sketches – which are then redrawn and finished into digital illustrations or paintings.  Artists that inspire me massively include Miss Led (Joanna Henly), Marguerite Sauvage, Jen Bartel and Gretel Lusky!
