French

Aldershot born, Brixton based French is possibly my favourite illustrator working in the UK at the moment, if not globally, i fucking love his style, drawing on middle age(s) style woodcuts and creating his work in a new unique way, designing individual pieces for metal & punk bands and skate board companies.

I found him via his old agent Stem, but since leaving them I have been searching in vain to find him - its amazing how many google hits you get for "FRENCH ILLUSTRATOR" but anyway found him again today and so glad i have, check out some of his work below, and on his website, definately thinking of taking influence from his "Stag" image for a leg piece by Lyam Sparkes - his work is too fucking good, and he actually has an awesome stag that he has done on someones ribs.
