About Dez- He was concieved from a Gestation Matrix in 1971. After seeing Star wars in'77 he was inspired to draw his many adventures and fantasies on paper. Never his mind on where he was or what he was doing he was always looking to the future and the horizon. He took up art as a pastime until getting attention from the King of Pop, Michael Jackson himself. He then put two and two together and found out that you can make money in this game.
Dez lives in North London, and being an avid Spurs supporter he hates Arsenal with a passion. His motto is "Chance favours the prepared mind" with a little bit of "Do or do not. There is no try" thrown in for good measure..
He studied at West Herts College in Watford and gained his HND in Graphic Design and Image-Making.
His clients have included Nycbp.com, Ann Summers, Coyote Ugly Saloon, Touch Magazine, More!, Ministry, Cosmopolitan, Whitbread, First Liesure, Luminar Liesure, Warner Cinema's, Victoria & Albert museum, Pizza Hut, Woodmansterne Cards, Carlton Books, Michael Jackson's Official Fan Club Magazine, Image-Source and many more.
He is currently represented by the Artists agency Private View as is working on bringing three comic book titles to this site, "Cozmik Girl", "Hoodrat" and "Apprentice, starting a new range of funky posters and other projects.
As you will probably see one of my inspirations is Brasil. Five times World Champions, i was inspired back in '82 when the great Zico,, Eder, Socrates, Falcao and such lit up the tournament with a display of attacking football that has not been beaten since. I also noticed the fact that the girls in the stands were so beautiful and constantly dancing to the batacuda beats from the terraces. Although they lost to Italy in one of the greatest games of all time the experience had a lasting effect on me and i have devoted a lot of images to show my love for Brasil. Obrigado, Brasil.
I am Inspired by "Real People" and capturing a moment that we can relate to. My girls are Sassy, Cool, Fun, Funky and Desireable. Always leaving something to the imagination.They show the power of the female form."They look sexy, but dont know they are sexy" is the way i like to describe them. I love the Casual look on them and try to steer away from the whole , skinny, fashion show look. They are more regular working girls than rich chicks which is why i tend to draw them working in Bars, DJing or captured in a Club shot. My other inspirations come from Toulouse Lautrec, Lichenstein and i am a great admirer of Comic artists Bruce Timm and Jack 'King' Kirby.
