Hi, I'm Gareth.

I'm an illustrator/designer (themeparks, visitor/heritage attractions, exhibitions etc), 37, single, and an insomniac northerner (born in Withernsea, East Yorkshire) now lost in the south (Sible Hedingham, Essex). I moved here following ten and a half idyllic years in my favourite city, Norwich.

Over the years I have sold fish, sat in holes, been frowned at by old ladies, balanced empty glasses and made sure elves were fireproof before sending them to Finnish Lapland; all for money...

I now draw pirates (amongst other things) for a living.

I'm learning to play the guitar and the banjo and have these ridiculous aspirations to be a writer...

That's it I guess.

...so, if you are interested... and until I get my Northman Illustration site (http://www.northmanillustration.com) up and running properly, you can find some of my illustration work at:http://hesir.deviantart.com

...should anyone want any cover art or a pin up for their 'zine or mini-comic... I'd be glad to help...
