Chris, hailing from Carlisle, has experienced a varied journey, starting as a local punk band frontman in his late teens before establishing himself in the Tattooing industry for over 3 decades.
Tattooing became a profession and obsession for Chris, constantly challenging himself to achieve portrait standard. Chris embraced a new challenge by delving into art to enhance his Tattooing style, which eventually evolved into a separate obsession altogether.
Never realluy interested in the normal sort of art for his surroundings which was Typically Lanscape Art, Chris tended to navigate more towards the portrait and animal paintings.The Problem most Artist's have is the confidence within their own talent and this can cause most to keep their work to themselves or to sell it cheaply and privately amongst friend groups which is what Chris practiced for years.
Then After 26 years of working from one Tattoo Shop Chris decided to up stick's and set up his own shop in the gateway to the lake district Penrith. After moving the family there too it was finally time to take the leap and launch himself as an Artist.
What youy'll find on this website is a selection of Chris's Favourite Wildlife Oil Painting's alongside some older fun painting's of cat's and dog's he did many moon's ago.
We truly hope you appreciate his art and the work that goes into producing such high quality.
