Daniel Greenhalgh – Designer

Illustrator creating bold, character-driven artwork with expressive linework, graphic composition, and a distinctive visual voice.

Overview

I’m an illustrator specializing in character-driven artwork, expressive linework, and strong graphic compositions. My work combines the detail and energy of traditional illustration with a contemporary, editorial sensibility, often using unusual perspectives, expressive faces, and carefully composed visual storytelling.

I enjoy creating artwork with personality and a slightly unconventional edge, whether that’s for book covers, editorial projects, posters, or other narrative-driven work.

I’m collaborative, thoughtful, and focused on creating illustrations that don’t just look good, but communicate a clear mood and tell a story at a glance.
