Not one to cut corners, most of his work is created through the lengthier processes of lino-cutting and rubber-stamping. He uses this way of working as a tool to investigate the world around him; from natural forms to cityscapes, Jamie creates his illustrations with an organic, handmade feel. He explores a blend of negative-space, line, and pattern within his works to replicate form and depth, which accompanies his choice of using an achromatic colour palette. Although working predominantly through traditional methods, he also explores ways to mimic his aesthetic, digitally. He achieves this through his use of texture and craft, allowing him to explore endless formats, sizes, and colour schemes.
Jamie Richards is an illustrator/printmaker living in Cardiff, Wales.
