Name:Shane Cook
Age:22
I am an illustrator from the south of Wales, namely Swansea. currently I am finishing off a 3 year university illustration course. If I was to describe my art I would say it's fantasy concept art, though I try not to limit myself to fantasy or concept art for that matter. Picking what influences my art is always tricky as there are so many different things to inspire you in this cay to day existence, Frank Frazetta's work has a huge impact on my work, saying that is kinda a no brain-er for any illustrator, I love to work from fantasy novels, writers like David Gemmell, Steven Erikson and Raymond E. Fiest are just a few that really get my creative juices flowing, I also absorb a lot from games and films , generally because there is so much cool looking stuff to gain ideas from. When I'm not drawing, burning my eyes inches away from the computer screen with a pen tab in hand, I like to unwind with some hard rock whether it's listening to the virtuoso guitar playing of joe satriani, the awesome riffs of skid row or just playing the doom out of the guitar myself. Other than that I generally just chill!
Anyhow, enough about me, this site is for my art, so take a look!
