HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOING ART?
pretty much since i could hold a pencil. I’ve drawn o everything in sight since i was about 4 years old!
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME AN ARTIST?
I don’t really know to be honest, as far back as i can remember i have loved drawing. My older brother Ian was always drawing and designing stuff, so I’m sure that rubbed off on me a bit.

Q & A: HENRY ST. LEGER FROM BRISTOL, LONDON
by CHRIS GROSSO on Apr.28, 2009, under HENRY ST. LEGER
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME AN ARTIST?
I think when i was young I used to copy my brother. He’s an exceptional artist and i used to try to do what he was doing. As I got older I started developing my own style and getting my own influences. I used to read a lot of comic books. I was obsessed with Spiderman and used try and create my own comic strips with him interacting with new enemies i had made for him.
WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE ARTISTS?
I love so many different artists. People like Mike Giant, Ralph Steadman, Mike Mignola, Katsuhiro Otomo. Most of my favorite artists are comic book artists. I think Chris Ware draws some of the most beautiful imagery I have ever seen. When ever I hear he has some new work out I hunt it down as soon as I can. I’m also a huge fan of Charles Burns. His dark and surreal black and white work is truly amazing. Also The late, great Jack kirby has to get a look in here.
