Kid Acne

Kid Acne is a sheffield based artist and spent  most his formative years painting graffiti, creating fanzines and making limited run records on his own Invisible Spies imprint.
He started off designing album covers for record labels and studied fine art but ended up getting into graphics and illustrating. He does graffiti on boarded up houses.he also did a comic book called zebra face ( see below for images).
he has weird ways of creating his images like he will listen to a persons conversation and then create pieces of art from what he heard. this series of work was the put into a book where he compiled all the stories he heard.
he never learnt to use any form of on computer design programs as he prefers to draw images by hand and scan them in.
he likes to go to barcelona to do his street paintings as you cant get arrested over there. this also led him to designing the paint cans from the company he was buying them from as this work was being seen on such a grand scale.
Nowadays, his artwork can been seen throughout the world - both inside and outside of galleries His signature style has adorned products for leading brands such as Prada, Kenzo, Elle, Kid Robot,Brompton and Warp Records, while the man himself continues to paint epic slogans in sub-zero temperatures.
when designing the Prada t-shirts they wanted alot of control over the content/ they had an idea already of what they wanted, unlike smaller companies who let him freely draw/design what ever he wanted. 
he offend designed jumpers for friends with his designs and characters on.  
he has always said it is important he does his own work along side the work for all the companies, he is very lucky he doesn't have to chase work and that people are always asking him to do/create things for them.
