About Alex
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.
Selected Clients & Achievements:
Google / The Roald Dahl Estate / Penguin Random House / The Independent / Arcturus / Air Canada / Airbnb / Flight Centre / Expedia / Anorak Magazine / English Heritage / Royal Academy of Arts / American Express / Rutgers University / University of Cambridge / Williams College
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.
My House Portrait drawing service was featured on national TV & in International newspapers. I’ve drawn 440+ houses to date.
