Graham Carter has been a printmaker and illustrator for more than 10 years, bringing his own style of wit and humour to the public. Following on from a degree in illustration at Brighton, Graham studied at a post graduate level at Central St.Martins, London. In 1998 Graham became one of the founding members of the critically acclaimed London based Peepshow illustration collective. From very early on in his career this gave him the opportunity to work for clients such as the BBC, Diesel Jeans, on Graham Rawle¹s Expo 2000 installation, and exhibit in shows throughout the UK & Europe.

Since 1999 Graham has primarily been working for editorial and advertising companies in a very different style to his recent silkscreen and giclee editions. This somewhat more 'cartoon' like approach has attracted clients such as Bupa, Orange, Saatchi & Saatchi, Visa and Monster.co.uk. The Silkscreen/Giclee portfolio is where Graham's true passion lies. Some of the subject matter comes from children's stories; others are developed thumbnail ­sketched ideas, purely based on character, composition and colour which he slowly builds on, using found imagery and textures to create the visually exciting images displayed online and in respected art galleries (Art Republic / Soma / Ink-D) today.

Graham is currently living and working in Brighton, and recently won the Visual Arts Prize 2007 as part of the Brighton Fringe festival.
