About The Artist

Welcome to my small corner of the web! I’m Kit, a fantasy artist from the south of England. The majority of my works are created entirely digitally with the help of a graphics tablet and Adobe Photoshop. While I prefer to paint colourful, fanciful pictures of ladies, my love of the natural world has recently opened my eyes to the joys of animal and landscape painting!

My passions are dolls, languages, historic buildings, antiques and folklore. I also enjoy reading accounts of the supernatural – ghosts, near death experiences, alien encounters… there’s a lot of interesting things out there! In my spare time, you’ll usually find me painting, playing video games or reading reference books (not so much reading as looking at the pretty pictures…). I also spend a lot of my weekends at events and art exhibitions, take a look at the News & Events page to see a list of where you can find me around the UK (and sometimes, beyond!).

I’ve been a fan of Japanese culture since my early teens, and have been fortunate enough to visit Japan and see the many wonders of this country. The manga style has greatly influenced my work, but I also draw inspiration from the Pre-Raphaelites and other master painters; my favourites being Tissot and Waterhouse, whose ladies are the pinnacle of beauty. One of the great joys of digital painting is the infinite range of colours available to artists… I use this to my advantage, creating works that (hopefully!) catch and hold your attention with their bright and attractive hues.

FAQ


★ About my work ★

What do you use to make your art?

At the moment, I use Adobe Photoshop and a Wacom Cintiq 13HD. I’ve also recently started using an Ipad 12″ with Apple Pencil too.

Do you take commissions?

Yes! Please drop me an email (kit (at) kitsnowart.com) with a brief outline of what you’d like and I can quote for you!

Can I commission you at an event?

It depends, at larger Comic Cons (like MCM) I can get booked up pretty quickly, so if you’d like a sketch please come as early as possible to book your place.

Where did you learn to paint?

I’m mostly self-taught, having only studied art in high school. If you dig around on the internet on sites like Youtube you can find lots of helpful tutorials! No matter how hard you study, the best way to improve is to draw and paint as often as you can.
