Join us at PechaKucha Night Manchester Vol. 41 where we’re talking all about Side Quests. We’ll be at on 20 November 2025.

Our next speaker is himHallows (), the working name of Paul Hallows, an artist and multi-disciplinary creative practitioner based at the Engine House in Salford’s Islington Mill.

Paul’s studio practice involves hand drawn illustration, design, prototyping, animation, small scale builds and teaching design (currently a guest lecturer of Graphic Design at the University of Salford)

Paul’s art practice is focused on creating illustrated patterns, mainly about infrastructure, which are built by repeating and joining together risograph printed tiles. Each pattern tile represents a single scene and our experience of it. Stepping back, the tile repeats at every edge, part of a much larger system with logically absurd boundaries.
