From concept to digital art – FREE session for 18-25 year olds.

Are you 18-25 years old? Do you live in Westminster, London? And do you love art and graphics design?

Dragon Eggs Digital are delighted to present a FREE session with London’s very own home grown talent and digital artist Junior Tomlin, dubbed the Salvador Dali of Rave.

Junior will sketch out an idea for a record cover or an A4 poster and will create the art in front of you while describing the steps he is taking to start and finish the design as well as answering your questions about layout and design throughout the session so you can all see how it's done!

Junior Tomlin

Junior, a West Londoner, born and raised in Ladbroke Grove, is an experienced digital artist with over 35 years of experience with many different skills and talents that you can also discover and pick up. To be the best, you have to learn from the best.

Renowned for his stunning flyer and record cover art, produced in the golden era of rave culture, Junior’s visionary work combines influences from sci-fi, surrealism, fantasy, futurism and comics. The result is a collection of artwork that defined an era and earned him the title ‘The Salvador Dali of Rave’.

He has worked for computer game companies creating packaging artwork, comics, record labels, live events and films.

Amongst his digital colouring credits are Marvel, Panini, Titan, 2000AD and John Brown Publishing.

During the 90s Junior designed record covers for Renegade Soundwave and many flyers for raves. The latter have become collectables.

Today, Junior is celebrating 30 years of creating art on record covers and rave flyers with the release of his book available to pre-order at Velocity Press
