I was born in Bermuda and am an illustrator, digital artist, cyclist, and movie fan. I hold a BFA in graphic design from the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York, where I had originally planned to study film and animation. Fate stepped in and upon graduation I worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for over 25 years.
I am a huge fan of movie poster illustrators such as Drew Struzan, John Alvin, Richard Amsel, Bill Sienkiewicz, Tom Chantrell, Bernie Fuchs, and many others. I now create hand drawn movie posters and artwork that embraces that traditional style, whilst using digital methods and modern techniques.
I hope that the revival of the hand drawn movie poster continues on its upward trend as I feel there is a quality in illustration that photography just cannot achieve. I have as many good memories about 1980’s movie posters as I do the movies themselves and with some luck I can produce similar images for current and upcoming movie marketing.
I am currently based in North Yorkshire, UK and am available for freelance illustration projects. Please use my contact page or email me directly at colin@colinmurdochart.co.uk with any enquiries.
