About Martin
An artworker needs to be accurate, methodical and, some would say, even pedantic. Martin is all of those things, but don’t be fooled by the gentle exterior! As well as being a trained and qualified bouncer, he also enjoys boxing, kick-boxing and grappling. Work-wise he enjoyed a 10 year stint in London finalising projects for Buckingham Palace, CERN and The Imperial War Museum, followed by a year working in New Zealand for, you guessed it, a sheepskin factory where he was solely responsible for production of all marketing material. He also greatly enjoyed a period as a freelancer working with clients of the calibre of Husqvarna and the Great North Museum.
