Locked in a self-imposed exile from the outside world, Darren lurks in his attic studio, in the deepest corners of Cornwall, creating visual bait so rich that the commissioners of the world might be tempted into contacting him. WIth a degree in photography and a love of paint and found objects, he creates richly textural illustration and design work, playing on the borders of erotica. Darren Hopes is an illustrator working in Probus, UK.
