Drawing inspiration from icons of our time, Bowman's work provides personality to contemporary pop culture. He boldly explores the humour in today's society and its over saturation with idolization, the media, and consumerism. Bowman uses old mirrors and window frames as his canvas, as well as old doors and a variety of surfaces that result in the recycled, retro feel of his work. His current series of works, New School Lounge Pop, is the manifestation of Bowman's playful perception of reality.

His experience began with a formal education in the fine arts at Sheridan College (Classical Animation) and has continued to grow as he has established himself as an ascending Toronto artist participating in events such as Virgin Thread Market, Fashion Cares and Nuit Blanche. In addition to his personal pieces, Bowman has expanded his artistic experiences with his involvement in animated productions as a layout artist and layout supervisor as well as being a storyboard artist on several high-end commercials. Contributing to Bowman’s growth as an artist was his move to Sydney, Australia, in 2002 where he did the storyboard work for Fox Studios’ short film Good Luck Jeffrey Brown. While in Sydney, Bowman also produced a one-man gallery show and worked on the Silverchair animated music video "Luv Your Life".

Bowman presently works as a free-lance illustrator; a graphic artist focusing primarily on designing t-shirts, band logos as well as CD layouts and design;, and storyboarding commercials. As an aspiring musician, Bowman has also been the headman and lead singer of local bands made popular by their shows across the city and their performance at Edge Fest.
