My Bio
Mark Hodgkinson aka (Firehazzard)

Artist, web designer, rock'n'roller based in Nottingham, England. Under-educated to a level of insignificance instead learnt his trade by studying record sleeves by bands like Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Marillion as a kid. Dropped out of college at the age of 20 after deciding his chances of making a name for himself as a sleeve designer would be greatly increased by developing his work and taking it directly to bands at gigs. This move paid off when he was given the chance to produce work for inclusion on The Wildhearts UK top40 hit single 'Suckerpunch' later going on to produce various single sleeves and one album sleeve for The Jellys featuring ex-members of The Wildhearts. Working mostly in the medium of acrylic on board and also computer generated design using Photoshop, Mark has also produced work for Subpop artists The YoYo's and most recently posters for the Electric Frankenstein - High-Energy Punk Rock & Roll Poster Art book amongst other.

Not put any new work on here in a long time. Have a few pieces done but have been finding it hard to work of late due to disability. Wish that damn morphine would take the edge off the pain and let me work for more than a hour at atime. 3 month paint...

Watched the Lemmy's memorial in my local bar last night, very emotional. I was lucky enough to meet him a few times. Here is a painting i did few year ago, i have it signed by him on my lounge wall.

Working hard

0 min read
Just uploaded my first new work in over a year put that's not to say I've not been busy. I think I've finally decided to give up my brushes and go digital as i haven't picked up a paint brush in well over a year. For the past year I've been working on a massive project called "it will all be over when the revolution will be televised". At times it has been driving me crazy when i see the quality of some of the digital work on here and how fast people work and I'm really unsure if every little detail is actually going to shown up when its finished and printed but time will tell. At the moment its been put on the back burner as i did a fast pie
