Mick Hockney

Mick was born in the Fens of Cambridgeshire, big flat place. In his late teens he left to study at various art colleges across the land, eventually settling in London where he joined the creative bedlam that was Spitting Image. After several years it was time to move on and he headed west to Bristol to work in the world of animation. A few years ago he decided to concentrate on developing his own art work, using images and ideas to highlight an array of social issues from politics to the environment, leavened with a healthy dose of mordant wit and gallows humour.

After a hard day at the easel, Mick enjoys nothing more than kicking back with his pipe and listening to his sublime collection of free jazz and Captain Beefheart records.
