Artist Statement

I'm Summit Amiss - the artist committing random acts of art. 

Using pencils, biro, ink, markers, acrylics, oils, watercolours, spray paint (I could go on...) I create pieces through gut instinct. I enjoy layering and mixing media for unique effects. Experimenting is key to my process, and the end results are never quite the same twice. Just how I like it! I also hand paint custom designs onto leather and denim, and craft items from resin. 

I enjoy creating pieces using puns and wordplay, personal observations, internal trauma, nostalgia, patterns, geometry, sketched elements, bold lines, an animated style, abstract backgrounds and strong colours. Potatoes. I frequently include contrast - shading with strong linework, blacks and greys with colours, graphite with ink, and drawing with painting.

My interests and hobbies also regularly feature - Animals, horror, anime, my huskies, architecture, Japan, tattoos... just to name a few. My art is my therapy, a platform for me to express my experiences, my thoughts and feelings about the wider world and my sense of self. Basically my attitude to art is the same as my attitude to life - follow my nose and see what happens.

I accept commissions - feel free to contact me!
