Neil Warburton

My work has grown from the inspirations of my childhood and beyond. Following the desire to create for a living at an early age, I studied design and gained the necessary skills to gain a job in industry. I now hold a creative position at bd2, a well established design agency in Wigan UK.

Despite the madness of designing for various companies and meeting the deadlines of the 9-5, I spend a great deal of my time working on a number of projects and artwork that I have showcased here on iamunknown.com, through exhibitions with Ok Studios, a group of artists based in Wigan and through various projects with people including Vinyl Abuse and Peskimo.

I enjoy the freedom of experimentation and I have a need to create. There is always a new idea to explore scribbled in a sketchbook, there's just so little time to do it. I try not to get stuck using one medium and enjoy using both new technologies and old traditional methods to create something new.

I am currently working on a number of 3D artworks and experimenting with printing techniques.
