Dogboy

Philip Huntington, also known as Dogboy, is a graduate from Camberwell College of Arts who often incorporates screen print and digital methods together. A series of his detailed and fantastical illustrations is a result of his close observation and experiments in anthropomorphic worlds.

Firstly, I find his work to be very interesting and his mixture of digital and silk screen printing is very intriguing. I find myself drawn to his works because of his use of colour and the fact it isn’t traditional at all.

I have looked at other commissions that he has completed and find myself looking for a hidden meaning within the work that he then goes onto explain them within his blog. I find that his works could help inspire me for my own work.

For example, this piece of work on the right is from when the mars rover landed, it’s a very futuristic spin on a very important event which is something that I can admire because his work isn’t serious, I am unsure if he digitally screen prints or if he uses silk screens but whatever way he chooses to create his work I find it very aesthetically pleasing and I would like to create a piece of work like this or similar.
