Marcus Oakley
London based illustrator/artist

Originally from the eastern county-shire of Norfolk, U.K.

Inspired by many things including the wonderful harmonic and melodic music of the Beach Boys, the pastoral delights of the countryside and the friendly animals that inhabit it.

Over the last few years my work has been related to the 1970's. I guess I am looking back at things I can remember and the
innocence of it all. My interest is in things that I didn't really know about at the time or was to young to appreciate
Such as Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album 'Rumours' or in general the aesthetic beauty of the decades architecture, fashion,
graphics and typography.

Recently I have been working on a music project called 'The Sunflower Band'
some of my song titles have been 'the sunflower song', 'melancholic summer',
'lets go to the haberdashery' and 'funky moon girl'.
