Early life and career

Raskin was born in Glasgow in 1947 and studied at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1960s, but did not complete his course due to his father's sudden death. He was a restaurant proprietor for twenty years before becoming a full-time artist. His work and limited editions are on sale in galleries throughout the UK and the world.[1]

His notability in the contemporary Scottish art scene has been recognised in several periodicals and publications.[2] [3] [4] His works are widely available as posters.[5]

His daughter, the TV presenter and antiques expert Natasha Raskin, was born in 1986. It was through the auctioneers McTear's selling his work that Natasha commenced work with them, leading to her television career in various antiques and auction shows.[6] Father and daughter received media coverage in 2015 when the auctioneer sold his work.[7]
