Interview with Ricky Butler
q)Something on you ….a)Ricky Butler
I graduated from Norwich School of Art and Design in 2003.
I am always working and building on my portfolio for
freelance illustration.
I work with mixed media and I am always using new materials
in my work, I like change within my work so I am always
looking for different ways of creating an image while
keeping my work conceptual.
My drawings and collage that I create are reworked digitally,
and I try to create a variety of texture and depth in my work
with the building up of layers.
Anything and everything seems to inspire me so my work is
a response to the world around me and the people in it, making
it contemporary as the (now) is very important within
my work and I like the idea of story telling
