Biography
Hi, my name is Dan Avenell, and I'm an artist, illustrator and graphic designer based in London, UK.
I usually create my art with pencil 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.
Have a browse of my site and feel free to contact me with any questions, commissions, or Laser-Monkeys.
I am currently illustrating the web-comic of upcoming computer animated sci-fi epic Loner.
Expect some images soon, in the meantime check out the site at www.lonerseries.com or an early look Loner's own page here
Recent Work Includes
Layout and design of UK comedy magazine The Fix
Note - I didn't do this cover illustration, that was by Oliver Paterson. In fact it doesn't feature any of my artwork, but you can check out my mad typesetting skills and layout magic. Oh and it really is very funny.
You can pick up a free copy of The Fix at any UK Comedy Club.
I contribute various art to InChelsea, a magazine focusing on London’s Royal Borough.
