Description:
Voxman was Mr Mead’s first large-scale character drawing and was made specifically for Antlers first exhibition ‘Grotesques’. The original drawing measures six foot high and took 45 pens to complete. The reason for the scale used in this drawing was to attempt to overcome the artist’s fear of waking up in the night to be confronted by a Fox-man. Mr Mead hoped that by creating a life-sized replication of his nightmare, and staring directly into its eyes, he could conquer it.
Mr Mead is a Bristol based artist / illustrator who admires the surreal and otherworldly sides of art. Mead hand draws all of his work with fine liner pens and / or dip pen and Indian ink then modifies the work for prints digitally.
Mead’s terror and intrigue for animals dressed as humans stems from his memories of Reginald Mills’ 1976 ballet film, The Tales of Beatrix Potter. Deciding to embrace his fear Mead has recently found a passion for more the traditional artistic techniques and has developed his ink based style to create dark inhuman characters blending the animal, human and mechanic.
