Duncan Jago and Will Barras



Will Barras and Duncan Jago are both friends and artists, they both discovered they had talent around the same time as shown in this video. Although they have worked closly together, especially though the Scrawl collective for some time, they both have very different styles.

Will Barras Grew up in Halesowen, near Birmingham. he is highly influenced by comics and spent most of his life drawing cars. this was mostly due to his dads influence. Will now draws figures and vehicles. Generally his scenes are very fluid and full of movement. He tends to use a whole range of different media to complete his briefs. He has some interesting animations as well.

Duncan Jago is a much different artist altogether. He mostly draws disgruntled looking bio mechanoids. these are highly influenced by artists such as Futura 2000 and Japanese manga art. he was also influenced by the hip hop movement when he was young. He is not an illegal painter but often gets jobs to paint various walls. His work can can take many forms and sometimes becomes very abstract. His lines are extremely impressive and rates him as a very influential artist in my eyes.

Both artists deserve a place in anyone's archives.
