His art is born of Jim Philips, raised by Simon Bisley and adopted by his everyday influences; film, literature and music.
Godmachine was born in Cardiff, South Wales, it was a difficult birth; his parents were in London at the time. He grew up on a steady diet of nothing, 2000AD comics, Santa Cruz skateboards and old library books of Klimt and Beardsley.
He uses a Wacom, Photoshop and coffee to achieve his detailed images that have made quite an impact on band merch, skateboards and clothing companies today.
He owns 2 cats: Bear and Miss Boo Boo Kitty Fuck II and has a worrying amount of coffee mugs with cats on them. Although a vegetarian and a devout anti-theist he collects animal skulls, animal horns and crucifixs along with old discarded black and white photos.
...Legend in the world of modern poster art & basically recreated the horror illustration style that millions of kids try to emulate to no avail. ;)
I truly believe that Godmachine is one of the most underrated illustrators around.
This dude rules, unnerving design work which is truly a sight to behold.
When I grow up I want to be Godmachine.
Godmachine continues to be a powerful force in the merch design scene. Intense illustrations like no other!
The most inspiring artist I know, he is the one with the ideas that people copy.
A pleasure to work with and always delivers 110% on work.
Godmachine consistantly inspires and innovates. Instead of following trends, he plows past the mundane and creates new ones. I always look at his work to see where others will be a year from now.
