Mark Yates Artist Q & AI was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire. I spent the 90s touring the world with a rock n roll band, nowadays Im designing art and merchandise back in Bradford.
I have always drawn, painted and built things since I can remember. The last few years are the first I have thought about art commercially.
I suppose every form of art has influences, I have a few different series of work. My more accessible stuff is based on retro glamour, whereas my Wreaking Havoc series is more debaucherous.
There are thousands of artists I admire, too many to mention, although since acquiring an airbrush I have been temporarily drawn down the Vince Ray route.
Backstage Pass is my most recent favourite that The Canvas Lounge feature. It tells the story of a naive groupie, caught up in a supposedly glamourous lifestyle, it was nearly called Too Much Too Soon.
The original is shaped out of wood and presented in two layers, so the skull is behind the girl.
The Canvas Lounge is one of the best art reproduction companies I have come across and I am very proud to be featured on their galleries.
Look out for a new range of images I am producing this summer, I will be working in shades of grey and edging back to the retro glamour side of things.
