Mick Hockney

Mick was born in the Fens of Cambridgeshire. In his late teens he packed his paints and pencils and left to study at various art colleges across the land, eventually settling in London where he joined the creative bedlam that was Spitting Image. He then headed west to Bristol to work in the world of animation.

 For the past 2 years he has concentrated on his own artwork, using images and ideas to highlight an array of social issues from politics to the environment, leavened with a healthy dose of irony and a dash of gallows humour. Last year saw a solo show ‘Dirty Laundry’ at the Weapon of Choice gallery, Bristol, and participation in several group shows including ‘Crazy Fools’ at The Library, London, showing alongside Banksy, 3D, 3Dom, Inkie, Levi C and Paul Insect.

 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.
