Britt Coxon
Hi, I’m Britt Coxon (she/her or they/them). I’m a multidisciplinary visual artist based in North East England, making things for web and print. Things I do include painting illustration, graphic design, websites, papercraft, music, photography, comics and zines. My work has a collaborative and communication focus, often resulting from workshops, consultations with educators or interactions with the public. My work explores communication, mental health, self-empowerment, community and understanding. I love working both digitally and with pen and paper, the most satisfying part of my work is being able to combine analogue and digital in interesting ways to create something unique.

I have a lot of cardboard, I enjoyed making this ripped piece into art. I used a combination of different paint markers for this. I bought some super cheap ones from a discount shop so that I wouldn’t worry about destroying the nibs. I...

I mentioned in my last post that I’ve been experimenting with different ways of digital drawing, leaning towards a more opaque painting style for colour than I usually would. I’m enjoying the results. My obsession with birds continues....
