Marcus Harvey is an artist known for his use of cynical humour in his artwork. This image shows a photgraph of a bust of Winston Churchill dressed in a punk jacket with hair styled into a mohawk.

This image shows a painting of an erupting volcano on the coastline with smoke bellowing into the distance. This image has been done in a more impressionist style by trying to convey the emotions of the image through the basic shapes and through the colours in the image rather than the actual fine details, letting the audience deside themselves rather than having the emotions set.
He pencils with a lead holder, and H lead, which he uses for its softness and darkness, and for its ability to provide a 'sketchy' feel, with a minimal amount of powdery lead smearing. He uses this lead because it strikes a balance between too hard, and therefore not dark enough on the page, and too soft, and therefore prone to smearing and crumbling.
Bryan Hitch's work is characterized by its high level of detail and emotive facial close ups. He has used a fairly limited pallete of colours to try and create an overall emotion to the images, such as the use of greyed tones in one image to create a depressing almost earie look.
