Hatch is the moniker of London-based artist & illustrator Dave Smith. Mixing bold linework with highly detailed patterns & tone he creates graphic, eye-catching compositions. Hatch’s work features a variety of characters and iconography dug up from his imagination and discovered in his surroundings.

Haunted daily by dreams of bugs crawling all over him while he sleeps. Laying eggs under his skin in his eyes and ears. They build up into a solid mass, smothering him, leaving him gasping for air as he jumps awake in the early hours unable to stop nervously scratching at them ... the bugs ... all over his body. And, in his spare time he draws pictures.
