Introducing Martin Eager - Artist, Web Designer, Graphic Designer and Photographer

Welcome to Runic Design. My name is Martin Eager and I'm an artist, web & graphic designer and photographer based in Harrow, London, UK. With a M.Sc in Information Systems from Edinburgh University and over fifteen years experience working in web design, graphics, photography and digital imaging, I have a proven track record in the industry. Combine this with a flair for unique, eye-catching designs and images, add into the mix a scrupulous attention to detail and I hope you'll agree that I'm well placed to help make your design project a success.

I specialise in hand-crafted custom designs and artwork that are tailor-made to requirements and polished to a high level of detail. I very much believe in cutting through the pretence and jargon that many designers and artists surround themselves in and take pride in a down-to-earth, no nonsense approach to my work.

Whilst capable of working in a wide range of styles to suit the job at hand, as you'll see from examples here on this site, my special interests for artwork are in the fantasy, mythology, history and magic realism genres. My photographic interests are in landscape, nature, wildlife, macro and conceptual photography. But I can turn my hand to most things and if you don't see a particular style represented here it certainly doesn't mean I can't create it.

My hobbies and pastimes include music, playing guitar, art and photography (of course!), computer gaming, cricket, walking, watching wildlife and movies. Music is my biggest love and I spend a lot of time either listening or playing. I especially like acoustic, indie, americana, country (minus the western) and good old rock classics. Oh and I play guitar left-handed when I'm actually right handed, I guess I like a challenge!

I live with a wonderful and somewhat exciteable chocolate labrador called Oscar who thinks he's a sheep and loves to eat grass.

If you'd like more information, have a design enquiry, want to leave some comments on my work or just say hi, then please get in touch.
