Here's a little about myself, Arran Mackintosh, Cptn Dave, Mackaroni and any other pseudonyms I may be scribbling away under.

I am an Illustrator and designer born in Portsmouth on the south coast of England. I've always enjoyed drawing for as long as it's been a worthwhile distraction from whatever I'm supposed to be doing, which has been roughly 18 of my 21 years so far.

I love to experiment with all types of materials and media to make strong and intriguing images and hope that the variety on this site will appeal to all who visit.  

I was privileged to be named winner of the award for "Best Designer" and the "Solent Special Award" at the Fareham College Faculty for Creative Studies Awards Evening in 2006.

I am currently looking for commissions to extend my portfolio so if you require the assistance of an Illustrator for any type of project I'd love to hear from you. you can get ahold of me at cptndave@gmail.com or 07896032452.

Finally I feel I must also explain that Captain, Cptn and Capt Dave is nothing other than the result of a schoolboy conversation skirting the subject of superheroes - which I have adopted as my moniker based on the principles of David being a common name, the superhero in question being nothing short of useless and me needing a new email address at the time.
