Mike Jackson

Talented illustrator Mike Jackson’s charming hooded characters are based on a time in Jackson’s teenage past – early on in his relationship with his wife.

“We were a pair of romantics and always endeavoured to keep our relationship fun!” he explains, “I try to depict this in my little character”.

L S Lowry, the iconic artist famous for his ‘Matchstick Men’ was a big influence for Mike Jackson; he explains “I was greatly inspired…mainly because he was a friend of my grandfather”.

Mike Jackson was born and grew up in Manchester; he now lives in Somerset.
