Jon Cooper South Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Teacher and artist from Sheffield.
I work in fine liner and brush pen to produce monochrome pieces inspired by the natural world and by the indigenous styles of the Pacific North-West, South Pacific and Australia. I also love Islamic art, Ernst Haeckel and street artists like Phlegm.
I’ve exhibited work as part of a few open calls in galleries in Sheffield, and enjoy being part of local craft fayres. I sell cards and prints at a few local independent shops and bars.
