The Art Of Lee Farrell

A warm welcome to my new website.

"To be an artist is to believe in life." - Henry Moore

I am a freelance artist who lives in Bexhill-on-sea on the south coast of England. Art has been a passion of mine from a very young age. I hold a Batchelor of Arts Degree in Illustration and a National Diploma in cartooning and I specalise in drawing faces, whether that be cult characters from film and tv or creepy creatures and monsters.

Over time I've develped a style that blends photorealism with my own interpretation of the person or sometimes creature I'm studying.

Just go to my portfollio page to see more of my work visit my shop if you wish to make a purchase of one of many high quality mounted prints.

'All my prints are available in A4 format which are professionally mounted and also signed by the artist. Commissioned portraits and caricatures will also be mounted with a choice of 5 coloured mounts!'

Each A4 print is professionally mounted in a sturdy black card frame with a white trim inlay and will shipped to you at no extra cost. For further details of the process and to see the prices of the other services I offer please go to my commisions page.

Just 'click' on More at the top right of this page and scroll down. This will also allow you to explore some more of my work!

"Oh and just one more thing...!"

I have worked as a freelance artist for over 20 years. My work has extended to text book illustrations, advertising art, props for film and tv, theatre set design, t-shirt design and predominately private commissions.

I work in mixed media, using fine nibbed pens and pencil. In particular I love using the crosshatching technique, which utilizes parallel, intersecting lines which allows me to slowly build up shading.

For variation and to make things more interesting I often use acrylics too, as you can see with my portrait of Peter Falk as Lieutenant Columbo right. Which is also available to buy as a high quality print at my shop page.

'Why not get your very own one of kind unique caricature of your favourite celebrity or of a friend or loved one! Just send me a photo and I'll do the rest!'

The process of getting your own personalised caricature of someone you know couldn't be easier. Contact me with a clear image of the person you want to be drawn and let the magic begin! I'll keep you updated of the progress via email as I go. Just go to the commissions page to place your order today. It really is that simple and you or perhaps someone you love can have a unique personalised gift that can be cherished forever.!

Or perhaps you have a favourite movie or sports star that you would like to have drawn in caricacture form. Just let me know and I'll do the rest. Just go to my commissions page for more details and pricing.

From an early age I was drawn to art and creativity. I've had some interesting jobs over the years too, including working in the BBC props department at the television center in London, which you can read a little about on my About page.

I hope you enjoy exploring my new website. I've tried to keep it light and simple, including various examples of my artwork which I hope will appeal to everyone.

'I love making monsters and in addition to drawing I love working in clay too!'

'I have over 30 years experience working as a
professional artist!'

'Life is full of little details and bringing them to life on the page is my goal.'

Like most people I have a lot of interests. But film and comic books or graphic novels as they're popularly refered to these are a huge passion of mine. So alongside my portraits and sculptures I've included some work of my cartooning.

Back in the 90s I was lucky enough to work as a cartoonist. I've done my best to include some of that work on this website but partly due to the fact of having no internet way back then quite a bit of it has gone. But I really hope you enjoy what remains and I've got lots of new work on show too.
