Photographer, artist, director, designer, art director: Owen Tozer is the real deal, and my favourite ‘creative’ person. As I always say, if he had a self-promotional bone in his body, he’d have taken over the world by now.

It’s just over two years since we published our first book Looking Sideways Vol. 1, so with that milestone in mind I’m publishing this blog in which Owen chooses five of his favourite paintings, and explains how they had such an influence on him. Hope you enjoy it! And if you have any of your own influences or favourite artists or paintings to share, please let me know in the comments!

Beyond the paid subscriber jump: Owen on why artists John Martin, Christopher Wool, Ed Ruscha, Peter Doig, Keith Tyson and Rene Magritte had such an influence on him. Want to read this piece AND get three months paid subscription for free? Simply share this or any favourite post or episode. Easy.
