Illustrator Interview 14: Shaun Gordon

1. How long have you been an illustrator/artist?

Illustrator / Artist Interview 10 – Pat Perry

2. What inspires your work?

Relationships in people, and wild personalities also really interest me, and I have tried to portray these characteristics many a time. I’ve always loved camping, and am always pretty inspired by forests, fields and creatures too. (more…)
