Wicked Illustrations by Joe Murtagh
Joe Murtagh is an imaginative artist living in Liverpool, whose high-energy work is a contemporary combination of the digital and the traditional. Joe’s art education was traditional enough, studying Art & Design on a two year BTEC course, then a Fine Art Degree, where he finally focused on being a figurative sculptor, working with stone and metal. Joe later moved into teaching art, in schools and colleges, before becoming a web designer, graphic designer, photo retoucher and digital artist. He uses strong colour to enhance a subject, and likes to experiment with digital software to produce standout images. His aim is to produce work he hasn’t seen before, purposefully avoiding mimicking his contemporaries. He is inspired and influenced by art history, movies, comic books, graffiti, music….questioning everything modern life has to offer, good and bad.
