Paul Thompson – Designer

Illustrator with a passion for cartoons, dedicated to storytelling through fanciful children’s book art.

Overview

Welcome,


I’m a UK-based freelance illustrator living in the south west. I have a passion for storytelling through illustration, especially in children's media, I've honed my craft to create vibrant, imaginative worlds that captivate young minds.


Inspired by Saturday morning cartoons, fantasy illustration, street art, and the wonders of nature, I infuse my work with a sense of joy and wonder.


I enjoy working with people assisting in the journey that brings fantastical visions to fruition.

It was a great pleasure working with Paul! Not only was he very quick in producing the mock characters and covers but he also considered all my suggestions and listened to my feedback.

Paul was incredible to work with and was able to create lovable characters with their own unique traits and energy given the brief descriptions my son and I provided. Looking forward to working with him again in the future!
