Tom Newbon is an Artist that enjoys using bold, bright colours. He exaggerates shapes and lines, creating ‘goofy’ drawings. Some of his works will reference the past using pattern design and utilising pop culture. Tom also enjoys creating digital illustrations of pets, these are commissioned and are usually created using oil paint digital features.

Tom’s family has a military background. He was born in Belfast and grew up in Germany. During Year 7–9, he was given an Art Scholarship at his Boarding School in Kingham, whilst residing in Wiltshire until finally moving to Weston-super-Mare in 2016.

In 2012, Tom went on to attend Bath College, studying Art and Design. In 2013 he attended SGS Filton College to study Graphics and Illustration for 2 years. And finally achieved a University Degree 2.1 BA Hons in Illustration in 2020, in Cheltenham, Gloucester.

Tom, like many other Creatives, is inspired by a variety of Artists such as Kandinsky, Picasso, George Hardie, Ori Toor, Young Earl Grey, and Korky Paul. 

Tom has previously hosted a small workshop with young children to share his creative skills which involved drawing animals using a variety of colours and shapes and encouraged them to use their imagination. He would very much love to explore hosting workshops in the future as he found it fun and very rewarding. Although Tom has no upcoming events or exhibitions, he will be looking for further opportunities to showcase his work and share his skills, which will enable him to grow as an Artist and move forward within the Creative Industry.
