Howdy! I’m Tommy Parker — a freelance illustrator.
About
I’m an illustrator based on the south coast of Devon, UK. My work is character and colour-driven, with a playful approach that brings a sense of relatability to each piece. Drawing inspiration from cinematic storytelling, 20th-century design, and everyday-life around me, I create work that invites viewers into warm and quirky worlds.
My work can be found across the globe in a variety of formats, from branding and advertising campaigns to books and magazines.
As well as illustration, I’m always keen to incorporate other creative mediums such as animation, design and interactivity.
In my free time, you’ll often find me riding my motorcycle in search of a good coffee, bouldering (badly), running drawing clubs, and sampling roast dinners across the West Country.
