Luke Spooner

Carrion House / Hoodwink House Illustration

Guildford, United Kingdom
A productive and highly motivated individual with experience in both traditional and computer based art work. I love new challenges and try to learn something new from every project. I enjoy exploring the unusual, dark and quirky through my work but relish opportunities that force me out of my comfort zone.
I have knowledge of Microsoft Office as well as Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. I am furthering my knowledge of Adobe Illustrator in my personal time on PC. I regularly accept commissions for paintings and drawings in addition to artwork and promotional material for bands and individuals. The rest of my spare time is spent drawing, adding to my portfolio and maintaining my online presence. When not being creative I enjoy martial arts, parkour, reading fiction, watching films and playing music.
