6 of the best illustrators from the North East of England
I’m constantly blown away by the work that is being produced by a crop of illustrators that are based in the North East of England. Each of the following illustrators have already developed their own unique style and have worked on a variety of online and offline projects.
Here is a run down of 6 of the best (in my opinion) illustrators from the North East of England. I’ve tried to link to their portfolios / websites / twitter / Dribbble profiles, but if there is anything I’ve missed just shoot me an email at phil[at]ipbrown.com.
