Inkworm's Profile

Found wandering in the hills of Somerset with only a pencil and a jug of cider sometime in the mid 70's, the being known as Chris some how managed to acquire a crude form of education. This mainly involved simple monochromatic pictures in the early years following the discovery of mud, but later works saw the development of more advanced forms of finger painting. Given a computer in an effort to reduce the consumption of crayons he started playing. However Photoshop wouldn't run on a 48k Spectrum, the install time running into months he soon moved on to more weighty hardware.

The end result of all this can only be described as an education in the field of Fine Art/History of Art, either through sheer luck or misfortune the experiences have been honed into the fine but slightly twisted talent that now goes by the name Inkworm. This designer can now be found in the Midlands watching rugby especially when played by tigers, enjoying a good book, having the odd beer, attempting to be cultured, trying and failing to recreate the good old student days, pursuing a range of projects with fellow designers and of course drawing.

Though it has never been proven or denied Inkworm claims to be an expert in Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop, can and does use Acrobat, Flash, Indesign, Quark, Painter and MS Paint. Research has uncovered a number of websites for which Inkworm has been responsible for. Recent observations of efforts to teach have concluded that that there is a rudimentary knowledge of Illustrator and a strong desire to communicate this to others..

It is also of growing concern that he has been allowed access to traditional material such as Acrylic, Gouache, Pencil and Water Colour, though adult supervision is still encouraged.

Despite all the odds a degree in History of Art & Design was acquired along the way, as was the ability to eat in public places, house training however is still work in progress.

Those kind enough to encourage and support this designer in his quest to carry on enjoying himself include the Leicester Tigers RFU, Alchemy Gothic, I Holland, the BBC, Future Publishing, the Imperial War Museum Duxford and many other kind souls.

Inkworm is available for hire, if it is for design work then this is considered a bonus, go to the contacts page for a handy submission form.
