Rich Gemmell – Designer

I am now booking in new projects for AUGUST 2026 onwards.

Hi. I’m Rich, a Picture book Illustrator based in the UK.

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.

Since 2021 I have been working with talented Authors all over the world. 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.

I am also an experienced Graphic Designer, so I know how to work with your text and layout to deliver a full and complete print ready PDF.

If you have any questions at all about books, printing or Illustration, 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.

I am now booking in new projects for AUGUST 2026 onwards.

What some of my clients have said...

Rich was amazing to work with. He brought my story to life in ways I never imagined. He took feedback well and was always timely. He had great ideas and his artwork is stunning. Can’t recommend him highly enough enough. Perfect 10.

"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."
