Biography

Denis Blandford is Windsor born but currently lives in Bracknell, Berkshire. He spent over 33 years in the graphic design industry, creating illustrations, cartoons as well as graphic design. Alongside his career he taught himself painting and drawing and following redundancy in 2006 made the decision to become a full time artist. Since then, he has sold many paintings, exhibited several times and received notable commissions from the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, the Rotary Club, Macdonald Hotels & Resorts and Fullers Brewery.
His career has influenced his broad repertoire of subject matter and his techniques. His style is colourful, cheerful and wherever appropriate, introduces elements of humour.

He specialises in cartoons and caricatures for businesses and individuals. But also in illustrations for print and merchandise products.

His artwork helps raise much needed funds for many national charities. Through paintings or prints that are auctioned. Cartoons that are used for promotional or seasonal events. Illustrations that are used on merchandise products in retail outlets.
