Russell Marshall biography in Biographies from the artzine on artrepublic.com

Marshall was born in Southend in 1967. After being unsuccessful at gaining entry to art college he turned his talents to journalism where he developed a hugely successful career. However he continued his passion for art and design and decided to teach himself the skills he needed. 

His choice of colour and production techniques as well as the topic of his work reflects his newspaper background, especially the public's obsession with celebrity. His influences include pop art, punk art, urban art, comic book art, street art and manga. He currently lives and works in London.
