I’ve been drawing and painting for as long as i can remember. I was painted traditionally up until about 8 years ago when I discovered how far working digitally had come. My only previous experience of computers had been a Mac classic with photoshop V2 and my belief at the time was ‘this will never catch on!’. Obviously i was very wrong.

I taught myself some basic Photoshop and Illustrator, learnt some HTML and landed a web design job which saw me through till i was able to take the plunge and become a fulltime freelance illustrator. Since then I have worked completely digitally and have had the pleasure of working with some fantastic clients including: Saatchi & Saatchi, Sony, the BBC, Kraft, the Daily Telegraph, GQ, Scholastic, Future publishing, Random House and Little Brown Books. I’m represented by the lovely chaps at Central Illustration Agency and love what I do for a living.

Now based in Warwickshire, I have enjoyed a career as an illustrator, artist and designer for many years following a degree course in graphics. I made the leap from design into illustration about 17 years ago and have worked on a large number of projects for various clients, including Oxford University Press, The Times Newspaper Group, The National Trust, BBC Worldwide, The Natural History Museum and Greenwich Royal Observatory.

More recently I have been compiling an extensive portfolio of images some of which are produced as limited edition prints with others available to licence. The prints are sold in galleries countrywide, and the licensed images are now handled by Vicki Thomas Associates. I work in the traditional method of watercolour line and wash and use a brush to create smooth outlines. Several of my illustrations have been featured in the “Images” exhibition and my most recent commissions include a series of children’s books for the I-Pad; rub down craft packs for children; fairy cakes for American stationery merchandise; and many ongoing projects for Twycross Zoo.

I have always been a doodler but for some reason when it came to choosing my destiny I chose to take the path of the bookworm. One English Degree later, I opted to go to Drama School and acted up all over the place for about ten years. Finally, after realising that I could take criticism, I have come full circle back to drawing. Being generally quite crafty, I am also a Silversmith, visit www.viksilver.com.

I have had some lovely clients and am currently designing some new labels for a vineyard in Minervois, France. Each commission is totally different and is a mix of corporate, editorial and private. I just love getting a brief. My main objective is to get a client who genuinely likes my style and then work in cheerful collaboration to develop something fresh and exciting.

The Piano Man is from a book called “Sur Un Air de Musique à Toulouse” based on the cultural heritage of La Ville Rose, which is one my favourite commissions, mainly because it set me off on the path of figurative abstraction. I also love doing anything from logos, caricatures, fashion and children’s pictures. Clients include : La Tour Boisée, The Green Alliance, The Institute of Electrical Engineering, Raviolis Perrin. Last year my pictures hung about in “A View of London” London Transport Museum & Association of Illustrators May / June 2009 which was a nice little ego boost. For more info and inky images come and visit me at www.victoriawainwright.com.

I’ve been an artist and illustrator for over 20 years. Previously I was a photographer, and an architect. I hold regular solo and group exhibitions of my paintings.

I draw and paint streetscapes, interiors and urban illustrations, as well as traditional landscapes. I work in watercolour, acrylics, and oils if you’ve got time for it to dry, which usually, you haven’t. I’ve exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Show, and am (very) proudly represented on the 2009 Oxford Almanack, which has previously been illustrated by JMW Turner, David Gentleman, John Piper and Sir Hugh Casson.

I love my job but I’m also professional and businesslike, and I don’t let people down.

My clients include:
Rolex Watch Co., J Walter Thompson, McCann Erickson, Oxford University Press, The University of Cambridge, Historic Royal Palaces, Berkeley Homes, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Land Securities, Random House.

As a child my love for British comics such as Whizzer & Chips, Shiver & Shake, Cor!, Knockout, then later 2000AD, Action and Starlord worried my parents,

I guess they wanted a son with more high brow interests. But I was having none of it. Together with a friend I created my own characters and cartoon strips. To my parents this wasn’t even art. I was truly low brow!

Fast forward twenty years after many attempts to get a proper job via civil engineering and architecture, and even a five year effort for pop stardom. (Yes I was in a band, and no, you wouldn’t have heard of us). I found myself skint and on the dole. It was then I decided to pursue my first love - illustration.

With the help of a course at City Lit. I got together a portfolio and at my first meeting with an art director landed a job. Fifteen years later I’m still going! My parents were right - there is no money in it! But hey it’s a good life. ( Well most of the time!)

I am based in south London and work digitally using a Wacom tablet sometimes combining scanned imagery and textures.

My recent clients have been The Wall Street Journal, Maynards and Cleveland Magazine.

Excitement, full immersion… Drawings , roughs, dialogue!
Grab the charcoal, plywood, chisels…
Since 2004, I have been living and working in one of London’s more distant suburbs… Brussels!
In 2007, I started experimenting with short animations and sound, based on my Guardian illustrations and love it, albeit more time consuming!
