Luke Fairhead (aka Soft Shock)

Luke Fairhead (aka Soft Shock) is an Illustrator and mural artist currently living and working in London.

Although predominantly creating his work digitally, his work is often influenced by his love of analogue methods such as Screen Printing and Lino – crafting limited colour palettes, textures and minor imperfections to create a hand-made look and feel. His work is inspired by cartoons, album cover art and pop surrealism.

Luke’s work was shortlisted in 2015 for the RSA Student Design Awards and since then he has worked with clients such as Shake Shack and Thameslink.
