Dan Avenell - Biography

Hi, my name is Dan Avenell, and I'm an artist, illustrator and graphic designer based in London, UK.

This is some of the art and design I've done over the years. I usually create my art with pen and ink, then scan it into Photoshop and finish digitally. I also work in traditional media such as acrylics, oils, and the silk-screen process.

I enjoy working on a wide range of different projects, and if I am not working for a client I am probably doing something for my own amusement - as such, the pieces on this site are a mix of commissioned work and things I did for fun that I thought were worth putting on the site or selling as prints.

So, have a browse of my site and feel free to contact me with any questions or commissions, .

I have completed illustrating the second episode of the web-comic spin-off of the hot new computer animated sci-fi epic Loner. You can read it via the menu button to your left

It can be found after the first episode, which focused on Loner's backstory. This time it the evil Sa'Car who features. These web-comic tales provide back-story to the various characters of the 'Lonerverse'- and now there are plans to have the web-comic printed at some point.

I enjoyed redesigning the UK comedy magazine The Fix, and handling its layout and design for the year of 2008.

Also designed T-Shirts and other merchandise for the top psychobilly band

During the 90s my planned career as an artist/graphic designer was put on hold when I accidentally fell into the music business, becoming a successful club promoter and DJ. The maority of my art and graphic design in that period was involved in designing club flyers, very few of which still survive, but I will add at some point.

Ok, that's basically it. There were plenty of other works and commissions but a series of hard drive crashes has eliminated much evidence. So learn from my mistakes and back up everything... in triplicate.
