With Artists Lair each week we will feature individual art work from artists we may or may not have featured already in packs, so if you came across a piece of artwork you liked in a previous round-up let us know, we may consider featuring them. After all, it's important these artists get noticed if they haven't got much attention already, but chances are they're doing just fine.

Craig Shields (d4m)

Craig Shields is currently in his final year as a degree student studying Graphic Design at the School of art and design in Lincoln, UK. In his spare time he freelances for small businesses, doing illustration work. He is an active member of the depthCORE collective. He’s also had his work published in Advanced Photoshop magazine, aswell as DigitalArts magazine, where he has written tutorials and also been featured as one of the Uk’s top 10 illustrators to look out for in 2009.

He was also in our 32 Mind-Blowing Examples of Photo Manipulation Art post. His work is of a very high quality and definitely qualifies for a Artists Lair: Edition #2.
