Vincent was born in 1961 in Nakuru, Kenya and has always been annoyed at having been brought back to England by his parents when he was eighteen months old as it’s a lot colder in England and he doesn’t like the cold.
Having then been brought north to York when he was twelve (where it was even colder) things at least looked pretty and the gothic surroundings have clearly had an untoward influence on him.
His early artistic career began when he was commissioned to draw Doctor Who and Torchwood comics for the Marvel Comics Group. Further comics’ work culminated in his own creation, ‘Sapphire’, the co-creation of ‘Harker’ and ‘Gravestown’ with Roger Gibson, and of course, his collaboration with Tony Gibbs on Twist and Turn.
Drawing sometimes on reality, and sometimes on fiction, Vincent’s work is populated by larger than life characters from both history and imagination. As with comics, his aim is to tell the story and to create an emotional connection between the viewer and the characters.
As you can see, with such an eye for detail, every panel on every page, is a work of art.
