My name is Will and I am a freelance illustrator and cartoonist from Malvern in Worcestershire, a great town with some very good hills. Apparently, if you look east from the top of the Malvern hills the next highest point is in Russia (I've no idea if it is true, but it's a good fact nevertheless). I currently live in London (which is pretty good too despite not having very tall hills).

 

I graduated with a first class degree in illustration from Edinburgh College of Art in 2017. I was selected as a mentee on the Picture Hooks picture books mentoring scheme where I was mentored by Petr Horacek, this culminated in an exhibition in the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in 2019. 

 

I use a variety of materials including ink, watercolour, acrylic, pencils, collage etc. to achieve colourful, energetic and vibrant illustrations, with a sense of individuality and humour.

 

I have written and illustrated 'What Not to give an Ogre for his Birthday', and have illustrated several others including 'The Universal Zoo' by Neal Zetter and 'Peetje en Flieflo en de Verdwaalde Superstinker' by Mathilde Stein.
