    In this episode Tim talks us through his 15 years in illustration. From an initial love of collage, before pivoting to pen and ink and disagreeing with his tutors on the way to winning a D&AD New Blood Award. Today he is established as one of the most sought after in the business and has become a go to artist, for The New York Times and Star Wars.

    Join us as we hear how growing up on a Virginian commune, surrounded by rattle snakes and snapping turtles, helped him develop his macabre brand of illustration. Why he holds his breath when he paints and how acting might just be his back-up plan.

    View Tim's portfolio on the Handsome Frank website.

    Feb 11 2025
    If you've travelled on the London Underground recently, you'll have seen the work of Charlie Davis. A Handsome Frank superstar since 2019, Charlie's profile has grown to new heights in the past few years and is now on show all over London.

    He joins us to share his journey—from starting out as a junior designer to making the leap into full-time illustration. Offering a fascinating insight into his craft, he reveals how making one small tweak to his work opened the door to increased commercial success, why he doesn't draw faces and explains why he prefers short deadlines. www.handsomefrank.com/illustrators/charlie-davis

    Parisian-born Londoner Marylou Faure joined us at HFHQ to talk about the personal and professional journey, which has shaped her bold, bouncy, art style.

    In our final podcast of the year, Marylou discusses female empowerment, which is a central theme in her work and how she learned to love colour. We also cover how her 3D 'babes' come to life, her dream projects and whether Die Hard is a Christmas film.

    Nov 22 2024
    On a brisk November day, we travelled by train to Dorset and sat down to talk with award winning illustrator Paul Blow. In a conversation that spans the full length of his career, we discuss the highs and lows of being an illustrator for over three decades. Paul talks to us about everything from awards, to losing his life's work, to why he avoided drawing smiley faces for so long. His bold conceptual illustrations often mix themes of humour, sadness and the absurd and his podcast almost perfectly mirrors the variety in his work.
