Gareth Williams

Gareth Williams is a designer, artist, and printmaker based in North Wales. Originally trained as an illustrator in the mid-eighties, he began designing band merchandise and record sleeves for independent labels, alongside editorial illustration.

In the early nineties, he started working for a publisher he had been freelancing for. He has now spent 33 years art-editing and designing some of the UK’s most iconic custom motorcycle magazines, among many other titles. In 2016, he began creating large-scale, illuminated 3D decorative art as an ‘analogue antidote’ to his digital workday. Inspired by pop art, fairground aesthetics, and old-school tattoos, his work features a bold, punk-influenced color palette. Many of these pieces now belong to private collectors across the UK and Europe.
