Godmachine is an illstrator based out of Wales, with some seriously nasty skills. Growing up and working as an electrician and bricklayer as a young lad, it was skateboard graphics through which he rekindled his connection to art. Influenced by artists such as Horsebites, Giger, Aubery Beardsley, Klimt, Richard James, Calvin and Hobbes and anyone who drew for 2000AD during the 90s, it's probobly fair to say that he does a bit of influencing himself these days. As a freelance artist, Godmachine's art graces skateboards and band merchandise such as t-shirts, album covers and posters.
