His work features a mixed media collage style, utilizing screen printing, wheat paste cut outs, stencils, wood work, calligraphy, acrylics and a variety of inks, to flourish and set himself apart from the pack. By combining his love of illustration and design, Charlie has made a name for himself with his over-sized murals that showcase the depth and dimension of his talent. [www.charlieowens.com/]
