B7 is a Kettering based artist who's visual style has gained him a reputation and a mutual respect among artists, art fans, musicians and comic fanatics alike. How? That's easy to explain. His work blends together humorously psychedelic ideas with vibrant colours and detailed drawings. Like B7 himself, his work doesn't take itself too seriously, so don't be surprised when looking at his work to see crossed eyed cats singing, among other wondrous things. But at the same time, there is a side to his work, almost like streams of consciousness, that delve into darker areas. His work is twisted and often darkly funny, but it only just dips it's toes into the pool of insanity but runs through the fields of madness quite happily. Musicians all over Britain have caught onto his work, and so he has designed countless classic gig posters for the likes of The Wow! Scenario, Misty's Big Adventure, The Squids and The Retro Spankees to name but a few. So as well as being an incredible exhibited artist, gig poster designer and general all round commissioned artist, B7 brings to the world...comics! Under his own company; Flys Eyes Comics, characters such as Sparkly Sparkly Chew and Eyeball Face come to life in comic form, taking part in all kinds of ludicrously funny adventures. You want your gig to be well attended? Don't just post an event for it on Facebook, no! Get B7 on the case.
