Alex Crump

I live with my family in the Swindon area. I love creating illustrations full of colour and humour - mainly working with acrylic paint, watercolour, ink and digital media.

Why I am an outsider artist

I've always loved drawing, I took art at school. At A level it was made quite clear that my style wasn't valued by the lecturers which crushed any ambition I had at that point. For over 20 years I 'abandoned' my Art. I was inspired again at the birth of my daughter (in 2009) to paint again.
