P R O F I L E

I'm Jan Martin - digital artist and freelance illustrator based in Bristol. My work falls into two general categories: digital collage, and a mixed-media collage which has a slightly different edge. The common element is cut and paste and, as with all art of this sort, it has the capacity to create a bizarre, sometimes surreal world of unexpected juxtapositions and perspectives that can surprise, disturb and illuminate. For editorial, advertising, publishing, and the web, it can provide a much-needed element of ambiguity and surprise.

More samples of my work can be viewed via the links page, which has links to my agent's website, The Association of Illustrators' website, plus various other online portfolios. On this site I have also included some of my print work and samples of a completely different line of decorative design - view under the pomegranate link in my portfolio.

I work in Photoshop and have experience in Dreamweaver, Flash, Coreldraw.

Clients include: The Times, The Guardian, The Independent, Times Educational Supplement, Mslexia Publications, Lexis Nexis, NHBC, William Reed Publishing, Wilmington Business Information, Future Publishing, Reed Business Information, The Big Issue, Cardiff County Council Rio Tinto, Ransom Publishing.
