A.J Murdoch
Multi-Disciplinary Graphic Artist
My inspiration comes from movies, music, comics, tattoos, cartoons and video games. I enjoy having things which are limited edition and personalised, so I try to give others the same experience. Whether it's a tattoo design, customising instruments, designing a logo or painting a mural.
I was born in Sardinia, Italy in 1988, and soon moved to Sicily. I have fond memories of cycling around the balcony on my big wheel, playing NES, watching Sesame Street and eating fish fingers and broccoli.
When I was 5, my family and I moved to London, strangely, I don't remember a lot of it, apart from the thousands of pigeons at Trafalgar Square.
When I was 9, we moved to Cornwall, and I resided there for 16 years. So there I was, hanging out in Newquay; playing video games, drawing and playing drums (not surfing)
I am currently based in Bristol, enjoying all of its artistic splendors.
