Logo takeover: Greg Keen

Rising Arts Agency is run by young creative thinkers in Bristol. Our artists are a community rather than a service user-base, and are embedded in creative strategic decision making at every level of our work.

To celebrate this, we're using our brand identity to platform work by four amazing Bristol illustrators.

First up is Greg Keen. @very_keen

“My aim in collaborating with Rising is to inspire young people to begin their creative journey, whatever that may be. Being different and standing out is an amazing thing! Drawing like a 6 year old is also a great thing.

Some people envy artists who draw the best or paint the best. I envy artists who can tap into a childlike state where there are no rules.

I am really inspired by those who aren't afraid to be bold and who don't subscribe to traditional art practises. Artists such as David Shrigley have given me the confidence to say that I am an artist and that my work is equally as valuable as more traditional styles and forms of expression.”
