About
My name is Michael Howard (NVM) a Freelance Illustrator based in the UK.
My work reflects my obsession with iconography and semiotics whilst exploring; punk, patches, tattoos, stickers, graffiti and in turn creating detailed illustrations, portraits or however these things manifest. I strive to create a conflict in the hard and softness of my work through colour, subject matter or individual elements. Sometimes by adding just enough detail so that each time a piece is viewed there is always something new to look at.
I'm here to draw.
B.A in illustration from the Manchester Metropolitan School of Art (2012)
My work has featured in a variety of fields from Business Identity, Album art, Wine Labels, Tour Posters, Mental Health Magazines and private commissions.
