Biography
I'm Luke Crump. My bold, contemporary 'doodle' style' work can be found everywhere! From canvas, murals, apparel, and even guitars! I use paint pens, inks, acrylics, and digital illustration to express my inner thoughts and feelings and crazy worlds..
Art became therapeutic, I overcame many anxieties and OCD and now proudly display work in 30 countries and counting! I continue to aim to my spread creativity and inspire others :)
inspiration
My work has many influences from abstract expressionism, the 80's New York street art and Pop art movement to early 2000’s comic books and Warner Bros cartoons.
I am particularly inspired by the works of other artists; Keith Haring, Jean Michel-Basquiat, Jean Dubuffet, Picasso, Henri Rousseau, Yayoi Kusama, Wassily Kandinsky Mr Doodle and Kev Munday - to name a few!
Aside from artistic inspiration, I believe there are ideas everywhere. Unusual themes, people, places and even news stories can motivate me to reflect and begin a new piece.
Music is a wonderful catalyst to create and my work has in the past, been used by musicians, DJ’s and track producers to use on album covers or gig backdrops.
I have also delved regularly into the realms of spirituality and have an interest in Eastern Philosophy which can inspire the work I create.
medium
My contemporary 'doodle' style takes many forms - from canvas, murals, apparel, shoes and print, tattoos to guitars and pianos - I do not wish my medium to constrain me to a certain size or scale!
Primarily I use acrylic based paint pens to create my pieces. Often the simple use of a black marker is enough to satisfy me creatively - keep it simple!
Alongside I will sometimes use ink, acrylic paint, emulsion wood burning and digital illustration.
A few mediums have also been physical 'products'. I have worked alongside Adidas & Depop to create a new design for their sustainable 'Stan Smith' trainer & most recently artwork for an afro pick design, celebrating BLM.
