About

Hi, I’m Paul, or Peps to those who know me! A retired graphic designer who’s returned to my first love: traditional drawing, illustration, and painting. With decades of experience in TV graphics, directing title sequences and managing designers, I now focus on creating hand-drawn artwork and bespoke illustrations. Inspired by legends like Saul Bass, Ralph Steadman, David Gentleman and Paul Hogarth, my work blends professional expertise with a lifelong passion for visual storytelling. But more than anything it’s for the love of it!

Although I loved my career, latterly as a Managing Director of an international design agency, leading a team of incredibly talented designers, I was happy to step away and rediscover my inner artist.

Rummaging through some old storage boxes I found two art school sketchbooks belonging to my parents. Inspired by their wonderful drawings and paintings, I decided to start sketching again for myself. I was further encouraged by chatting with a couple of great friends and ex-colleagues who have also started painting and drawing again. Paul and Graham are two of the best artists I know.
