LUSHOUS ILLUSTRATIONS

Paul Willoughby







"Paul graduated from Loughborough in 2001 with a 2:2 in Illustration. After an impressive run on job seekers allowance he began illustrating for Adrenalin magazine. On the strength of that work they gave him some commissions for their sister magazine, a golf magazine called Bogey. Then on the strength of that work he got to illustrate some covers for the Guardian’s review section. It all grew from there!"
