Brian has been a full time artist and illustrator since graduating from Bristol Polytechnic in 1989. He freelanced in London for 10 years before moving to Dublin.
He was especially drawn to using linocut and then scraperboard through the tutoring of wood engraver Peter Reddick at Art College in Bristol.
Scraperboard is a Sgraffito medium - the process he practices is the reverse from usual mark making.
he begins with a black board and gradually remove parts of it’s thin dark surface to reveal the white china clay beneath. The result is a unique original piece.
