<H3>MR BINGO</H3>
<H4>Bio</H4>
<P><SPAN>Mr Bingo was a commercial illustrator for 15 years, working regularly for clients such as The New Yorker, The Guardian, TIME, CH4, The Mighty Boosh & The New York Times. An archive of the thousands of illustrations from this period doesn’t exist online because he got bored once in a <A HREF="https://www.instagram.com/p/BGhfqoUt5Gw/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">motorhome</A> and deleted his entire portfolio website. You can see a small selection of work from this period </SPAN><A HREF="https://mr.bingo/various-bits/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><SPAN>here</SPAN></A><SPAN>.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>In 2015 he launched a <A HREF="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mrbingo/hate-mail-the-definitive-collection" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Kickstarter</A></SPAN><SPAN> to fund a book about his </SPAN><A HREF="https://mr.bingo/hate-mail/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><SPAN>Hate Mail</SPAN></A><SPAN> project. The campaign featured a </SPAN><A HREF="https://mr.bingo/kickstarter-rap-video/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><SPAN>rap video</SPAN></A><SPAN> and a diverse selection of rewards including being trolled, having your washing up done, going on a <A HREF="https://www.instagram.com/p/5smBget5Js" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">date in Wetherspoons</A></SPAN><SPAN>, being told to fuck off on Christmas Day and </SPAN><A HREF="https://twitter.com/hashtag/gettingshitfacedonatrain?f=tweets&vertical=default&lang=en" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><SPAN>getting shitfaced on a train</SPAN></A><SPAN>.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>He decided around this period to never work for clients ever again and focus on being some sort of <A HREF="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">artist</A> which he’s done ever since.</SPAN></P>
