Hi, I'm Phillip but more commonly known as Pip. 19
I study BA Illustration at Sunderland University. I really enjoy illustration and I'm a complete sucker for traditional renaissance artworks including religious iconography from the great painters & illustrators such as; Gustave Dore, Da Vinci, Bernini, Michelangelo etc. In my spare time however I enjoy like most other budding artist...drawing, sculpting, Photoshop, painting. Yup pencils, the lot. But when I'm not busy ruining the decor with my creative juices I like gaming....And it appears I'm eeeeeever so slightly obsessed with bears at the moment. Pardon! Ta-ta
