Caroline Tomlinson

When she’s not busy making her pictures she is keeping her eyes peeled for any old photographs that may come her way which she can incorporate into one of her collages.
Jo Bird
Jo Bird studied Illustration at Kingston University and she loves lines… Taking a line for a stroll across a nice white piece of paper, then making that line edgy and slightly wonky makes her happy. Jo then involves the computer by adding some wonderful color and texture. Landscapes, people, locations or cows in legwarmers…whatever the brief she’s just happiest drawing. Her recent clients have included: Visa, Hyundai, Oxfam, Jet Away Magazine and Little Brown Company.

Sky Nash
My name is Sky and I'm a London based illustrator. With my illustrations, I like to observe the world around me and retell it in my own strange way. Half of what I do is colourful and fun where as the other is quite dark and odd. I am also interested in drawing whimsical madness and monsters.
