Bulletonastring is the moniker of Bec Dennison – an illustrator and mural artist based in London.

Originally obsessed with a black colour palette and an aim to get into tattooing, her creative focus expanded and evolved rapidly after moving from Melbourne, Australia to the UK. She now divides her time between mural based work and illustration, both digital and traditional. Whilst her love of black ink and strong line work is still obvious, her work has expanded to embrace colour.

Her artwork is rooted in drawing that comes from a love of animation and tattoo culture and makes use of exaggerated light, shadows, layers and texture, reoccurring symbols, and indecipherable text to create a visual language that places clues to encourage thought and reflection but leaves the viewer free to make their own interpretation.

Influenced by surrealism, psychology, rock music, pop culture and technology, Bec’s art contains a dark, dream-like quality that stems from the rawness of our inner worlds and what it is to be human – our dreams, vulnerabilities, fears, hopes, emotions and memories.

Bec’s artwork extends from drawings to T-Shirts, customised leather products, canvases, digital illustrations and murals.

A hands on approach and challenge are key qualities Bec looks for when undertaking new work. She balances personal artwork with commercial client led projects, using the learnings from both to continually evolve her practice.
