33. Manchester, England.
Freelance Artist since 2002, began working for sports organisations but hated the bureaucracy, moved to portraiture, then to symbolic fantasy, now I do a little of everything. I don't believe an artist should remain in one particular genre of art without exploring different avenues first.
I'm available for commissions, and please let me know if you are interested in buying any of my works. Most uploads are for sale as prints, some originals are still available and for sale via my Etsy page and also via my website @ www.martinlynchsmith.com. Thanks for visiting this page and checking out my work. :)
