Alistair began his artistic career in film and television, where he focussed on model making and design. At the age of 22 he moved on to become a commercial illustrator. Early commissions included an independent comic strip and graphic design work for advertising. After five years illustrating he started applying the strong draughtsmanship skills he had gained to painting. After almost exclusively working in markers and pencils he started experimenting with paint.
His early experience in the film industry taught him the technique of expressing a wider story in the confines of one still image. Each of Alistair’s paintings, according to one critic ‘ bursts with cinematic tension, his models are carefully posed and dressed to play a well-choreographed role within a cleverly lit backdrop.’
