Biography
London born Irish bred Martin O’Neill is a graphic artist & illustrator who creates mixed media collages for a wide range of International clients across publishing, advertising, design, film and interiors.
Martin’s work evolves from a subtle alchemy of collage, silkscreen, photography, paint, and digital techniques. Originally from a printmaking background he approaches projects with an analogue perspective whilst offering hand cut or digital collage solutions.
Years of hands on studio experimentation have resulted in his unique and instantly recognisable brand of image making. This constantly moving array of processes fuel an evolving practice which also includes typography, installation and animation.
Martin works from a large archive of found and self generated material and also with stock and client supplied imagery.

Quotes:
“If Peter Blake is the Paul McCartney of collage, then O’Neill is its Tom Waits, a pre-digital artist for a post-digital age. “ John L Walters. Eye Magazine. Eye 69.
“Illustrator and graphic artist Martin O’Neill has built an international reputation by being so defiantly old-school, analogue, hands-on, scissors and paste that he appears almost avant garde. A man among mouse mats.”
