Shaun Macdonald

Born 1970 and lives in Nairn on the North East coast of Scotland. Nationally and occasionally internationally exhibiting artist. My practice consists mainly of drawing and painting in a realist manner, "painting at the digital interface" is one description that sort of fits.
I occasionally make text based work in print and paint and have also exhibited digitally produced work and installations.
I've been painting contemporary & retro toys, games and even beermatts etc that have figured in my own childhood and that of my own children's. Serious Fun.
