Nathan Bowen

London’s “street cartoonist” — fast, jagged characters scrawled into the city’s bones.

About Nathan Bowen

Nathan Bowen is a London street artist whose work erupted across construction hoardings during the 2008 crash. Where others saw boarded-up sites, he saw blank canvases — and filled them with sharp-lined builders, demons, superheroes and mischief-makers.

His look is fast and improvised: spiky marker strokes, cheeky faces, and characters that feel like London spirits — always watching, always buzzing. The studio work pushes the same energy onto canvas and paper, but the heartbeat is still the street.

Bowen’s practice bleeds into fashion, music and community projects, yet the method never changes: show up, draw live, leave a grin (and a little bit of trouble) on the wall.
