Creator Peter "Snopix" Higgins ( born in Bournemouth in the U.K. on the 5th of the 6th 1956) had no idea he'd still be creating today when he started his creative journey in 1976. He just wanted to use the spare time he had then in a positive way, rather than fritter it away doing nothing. So with no formal training, just the desire to create and being influenced mainly by the world around him, has gone on an almost 40 year adventure leaving him rich in wonderful works of art.
From pen and ink hand coloured drawings (1976 - 1984), airbrush and stencil tee-shirts and paintings, acrylic paintings (1985 - 2005), to digital photography, Photoshop and Illustrator images (2006 and onwards) examples of all of these's can be seen at his website www.snopix.co.uk and here at Artavita. With all of these images being available as fine art canvas prints.
So now in 2015 as he comes up to celebrate almost 40 years of creating. He has been honoured to receive the Sandro Botticelli prize for the original stylistic search. Something he could have never dreamed of when he purchased his first pencils and drawing pad in Amsterdam, all that time ago".
Creativity for me, has become like an intravenous drug being pumped into my vein. Addicting my very life! My very soul! Taking me on what I can best describe as, the ultimate journey/adventure of my life time exploring the very depths of my own mind. Even now after almost 4 decades of creating my own original images, I still get the same buzz. Through drawing, painting, photography, photoshop, illustrator and now culminating with my first venture as an author with the novella "ILL BE DAMMED" ( Available at Amazon.co.uk) the story of when I first had the idea to try to express myself through creativity.
Some of my early works from the nineteen eighty.
