Artist Feature: Tinhed

Our lovely friend Tinhed AKA Chris Wright has been a master of arts for quite some time now. We took a quick 5 minutes to catch up with artist and show you his off beat and superb work.




Who are you? What have you been up to?

Hey my name is Tinhead im 25 and I live in Oxford. Im an Illustrator. Today I'm doing quite good im still recovering from getting ready for an exhibition I had last week where i erected a great big shed hung loads of work off of it only to smash it at the end, the idea being that everyone takes a free piece of work as most people that say they're gonna buy stuff off me at exhibitions are lying! So I thought I may as well give it away for free and have fun doing it, the only thing is the bouncers just thought someone had let a madman into the place with a crowbar.





What was your first ever creation?

My first creation would probably have been dinosaurs vs areoplanes i still got em today. i drew these on those old style printing paper the ones with holes in the sides, i was obsessed i couldnt get enough. Dad used to bring em home from work and i used to draw these retarded scenes, dinos attackin planes. i still steal his printer paper to draw on, i guess some things never change.





Your most famous work?
I think most people know for the work ive done with FOALS but i have done many more numerous exhibitions im in the process of completeing an advert for Grolsch in Australia as well as many small projects zines and tattoo designs to very small silly projects and editorial work.

Who inspires you?

I would say things that inspire me are definately not other artists its usually outlaws, failures degenerates fucked up moviestars, all the wrong things really. i have great admiration for failure.



Tinhed has recently added a rad tote bag and some tees to his shop that you can purchase here. We literally cannot wait to get our hands on the bag - review will be up soon.

Hand Made Brighton



Hand Made Brighton contacted Deer Brains and I'm so glad they did I'm actually in hand made heaven when I look through all these cute pictures on their page.



If you know me well you will know that I love art fairs and cute things! Cute is my favourite word after all.
I remember when I was younger going camping with my family and walking around lots of little crafty stalls and buying lots of little nik naks to fill my room up with.

Unfortunetly the April fair has been cancelled but luckily for me and you they have come up with a new project of 'Craft Co-Oprative' which is a little shop dedicated to the craft minded people as well as a tea shop! Amazing! You can view more information about it here.

With so much to look at it's literally taken me about an hour and I've found so many things I want! Such adorable pieces, I think you'd agree.

Beginning of my life


Sick of this, 2002.

This was when I decided I wanted to become involved with the graphic side of life. I made this piece whilst I was preparing for my GCSEs, I'm not an idiot but I just felt the mundane day to day task of adding and subtracting sums and finding out about chemical reactions blah blah blah was so boring and not enjoyable in the slightest that I just started to drift and spent most of my youth staring at this cute boy in my class and making beaded jewellery whilst listening to no doubt and creating websites...dream.


I used to muck around on paint shop pro and I created this life changing piece, popped it up on my livejournal and received good feedback from it, I started thinking 'If only I can do this for a living?' needless to say I flunked my maths with a D and got a FF in science (I was in second set?!?!) but hey! here I am doing what I love, well at least trying.
