ABOUT:

Hello!

I’m Alex, and I’m an illustrator from Margate, UK, and I live and work here from my home studio by the sea.

I use a layered and hand drawn approach in my work, to create maps and illustrations for lots of different uses like websites, books, prints, clothing and other bits.

I've worked with many clients such as Airbnb, Williams College, The University of Illinois, Air Canada, English Heritage, The Royal Academy of Arts, American Express, Rutgers University and more.

In 2024 Latif Nasser with Radiolab helped to officially rename a quasi-moon of Venus to ‘ZOOZVE’ due to my misreading of 2s as Zs.

In 2015 I won a World Illustration Award for my Totally Thames poster.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
