We’re very lucky to host two wonderful contemporary illustrators. Both are multi award-winning, prolific, influential as well as being really nice people! They perfectly encapsulate the modern illustrator working across a multitude of platforms from editorial, books, packaging, animation, posters and even ceramics.
We are really looking forward to them providing insights into their process and aesthetic when take to our stage in Sheffield in less than 7 weeks on October 21st & 22nd.
