Martin Askem

Martin Askem is a London-born artist whose path as an artist has been shaped by a difficult childhood. As an early school-leaver, he developed his career in retail until he decided to return to his childhood ambition, Art. Primarily self-taught, he developed his techniques and monitored his successes and failures as he shared his work through social networks.  His determination and drive have resulted in his becoming a professional artist, and he has seen significant success in recent years.

Martin's work will appear in the August, 2010 issue of Status Hat:  KEYS.
