My name is Ruben Ireland. I’m an illustrator and artist based in London and I sell my work on JUNIQE. Before I came here I was kind of moving around a little bit, enjoying the fact that I can work from anywhere. And then I decided to reconnect with London and live in England for a little bit. So I’ve been here for about a year now. And I plan to stay. Yeah, I always wanted to be an artist. I studied illustration at university in London. I think my style came from a lot of films I was watching at the time just after I’d left university and I was feeling kind of isolated and alone. And so it was a merging of that kind of aesthetic with that mood. I find a lot of joy in that stark, kind of cold, grey aesthetic of London, so that really helped to inspired me. I think I had like five years of being quite lonely, of just moving around a lot and doing my own thing. Now that I’ve come to London and I’ve made quite a few more friends. It’s harder because I’m happier to find those emotions, but I often do. I think it’s nice to get more joy and colour slowly into my work. But yeah, it’s always there. You know the stuff that’s in my work, is something that must just be a part of me. Naming my work can be quite hard, it depends where I want the focus to be. So, if I want the focus to be on the character I’ll probably give it a woman’s name. If I want it to be an idea that I have it’ll often be a short sentence. Sometimes they are quite subtle. You can’t tell, but I make quite a lot of mess, because my work is quite clean and rigid. So, that’s a very important part of the process, to do things by hand. Even if I start a sketch on the computer, there’ll always be handmade elements. I never work on just one piece at the time because I find then that it becomes stale and I stop enjoying it. So it’s using one work as a holiday for another work. I can see how Instagram and Facebook works for people like me. It’s a lot of people and I don’t really know how that happened. The best emails I get from people who like my work are kids at school who might be doing a project about me, or just want to say that they really like my work. Some of the cool emails that I get are when people send me pictures of their tattoos of my work. Some of them not so good as others but some of them are really awesome. That’s crazy to me because you know a tattoo is for life. Yeah, I just want to keep making work. Besides that I am quite happy. I have no giant goals. Yeah, I feel lucky to be doing what I’m doing now so if I can continue to do that, that would be really good for my future.
