Hi, my name is Adam and I’m and illustrator by trade. My LinkedIn is the finance side where I work contracts. But the passion is in illustration. I have been the illustrator for a series of books called Oscar the rabbit and friends. I have also written and illustrated my own books which have been published along with corresponding weekly comics strips of my characters Puffin and Booby. I’m part of a comic book collective called Zone and been hired by arts council to do a mural I the center of town. Please feel free to peruse my website Www.AdamGillson.com for examples of my work Alternatively my Instagram is Adam.gillson which showcases some of my ceramic and pen and inks among other things. When illustrating I always aim to include movement and fun. Always keeping the eyes entertained along with the story. Check out my work and I’d be more than happy to have a chat and answer any questions you might have. Thanks very much Adam
