Hello, I’m Alex. A full time freelance illustrator/artist, writer and storyteller based near Swindon. I live with my young family in the Wiltshire countryside along with the soppiest ginger furball cat, the tiniest elderly tabby and a fabulous pair of Pugs.
When not out on storytelling visits or working with school groups I can often be found in my studio creating work in a myriad of media from paint and pencil to charcoal and ‘Procreate’.
As an illustrator I love the opportunity to work with both new and established authors (Everyone has a story to tell and it’s really inspiring to hear different people’s tales). For over 5 years I have been bringing their stories and characters to life with over 50 books published and hopefully many more to come. Over the years I have gained experience of different paths to publication and can help prepare and edit books ready for publication using ‘Adobe InDesign’ software
I can create simple 2D animation for advertising/stories using ‘Procreate Dreams’ software that can be for a variety of purposes eg. social media campaigns, public performance, product promotion, presentation pitches.
I am an avid reader of stories, some of which I find inspiration in for writing my own. A lot of the books I have worked on or have written can be found on my Amazon Author page as well as Waterstones.
As a storyteller I’m available for a variety of events; private parties, care home sessions, school visits – I have enhanced DBS clearance. Click here to contact me to arrange a booking.
Really pleased to be asked by Ron “Ronski” Clark to illustrate the follow up to our previous project ‘Pipe Laying on a Distant Planet’. where the human crew from the shuttle encounter the different creatures from Tring Tang. It’s been great to reconnect with previous work and help Ronski with his publishing journey.
I’ve started illustrating a set of black and white line drawings for a new project with the Author Nick Morrice (our 7th project together). Nick has introduced me to some great ideas and over the years working together and it’s really great to have the opportunity to create the illustrations for his stories.
