Overview
Hi. I’m Rich,
I'm a Picture book Illustrator based in rural Northamptonshire with my partner, four year old son and three cats.
I have been drawing pictures my whole life. It is my absolute passion. I bring this experience and passion into every book I work on.
I have completed six collaborative picture books so far. Not only can I bring your worlds, characters and stories to life with visually stunning, detailed and colourful Illustrations, I can also design your text and covers. From your manuscript I can make you a fully fledged, bookshop standard Picture Book ready for print.
When I am not drawing, I also work as a Graphic Designer. This has been my day to day profession for over 12 years and gives me the extra toolset to also design and layout your books and book covers.
So, If you have any questions at all, just drop me a message. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the Illustrations in my gallery and don't forget, I can provide more on request.
Rich

What some of my clients have said...
"You can trust Rich to bring your greatest imaginings to life! He was a pleasure to work with and gave me plenty of opportunities throughout the development of the picture book to give feedback and direction. The quality of the illustrations are unbelievable! Hiring him to illustrate my book was the best decision I could have made and I plan on working with him on many projects to come."
