427.5 Tom - Children's Illustrator

My name is Tom, I'm a British illustrator with a BA in illustration. I've been working in the field as a freelance illustrator for a few years and I am always looking to branch out and apply my illustration style to new industries.

I work in flat colour and texture with surreal elements, creating easy to digest imagery that can be used to tell interpretive stories while being relevant to specific audiences.

I am inspired by nature, plants and flowers have such strong natural shapes and colour arrangements it's hard not to create ideas from something so simple. I also love a good story, and draw inspiration from narrative media such as film and fiction novels--particularly speculative fiction which can take a simple idea and push it to its limits.
