Craig Davison love of art started at an early age. Although his teachers had told him of his talent at school he left at the young age of 16 to enter the working world. He went from dead end job to dead end job but he never stopped drawing and doodling at any possible opportunity. He eventually got a job in this field as a cartoonist for a pre-school comic series which then progressed on to working on computer animation and learning to sculpt 3D models and characters. He never thought he could actually make it as an artist until he popped down to a local gallery in Darlington. He left some canvases by the door while he was talking to the galleries owner, in those 15 minutes both of his pictures had sold. The novelty of being a successful artist is still very real for Craig who now works in his own studio. His studio is an old blacksmiths converted in to a modern studio in a lovely rural setting in County Durham. His influences are the Japanese pop art king Yoshitimo Nara and Californian cartoonist Mike Mignolia. Although there are some similarities Craig children look vulnerable and cute where some of Yoshitimo children have weapons and they exuded confidence. Craig Davison works better when he is working on many canvases starting with the background and working from there. If I only do one I concentrate too hard and get bogged down with the details.
