Stephen Smith hails from a background rooted in illustration having studied at The University of the West of England and Brighton University. He is renowned internationally for his distinctive style that seamlessly blends hand-drawn elements, organic patterns, vibrant colours, hand drawn and digital techniques. Neasden Control Centre's work often possesses a whimsical yet thought-provoking quality which transcends traditional boundaries from large-scale murals and installations to book covers and editorial illustrations. Neasden Control Centre's work often conveys abstract narratives that resonate with audiences on both a personal and universal level.
