Designer
Michael English
As a child, Michael English developed a love for drawing especially when it comes to technical topics like trains and airplanes. These are things that would remain part of his artistic inspiration due to his fascination with these things continuing well into adulthood. This is something that can be seen during his “Machine Paintings” era during the late 1970s and the 1980s. He began pursuing his love by getting into Ealing College of Art in 1962. His life changed when he took Groundcourse by Roy Ascott. His career quickly launched after this moment in 1966, where he was huge into the hippie movement that was currently blooming at this time. This was when he began working in the graphic arts world. After finding a great deal of success in this field, he ended up becoming known as the man who created the “English form of psychedelic poster arts”.
