Hi, I’m Parker Cliffe, an illustrator and comic artist from Manchester, now working across Leeds. I specialise in character design and graphic novels, with a passion for bringing bold personalities to life across comics, indie games, and animation. I’ve worked on a wide range of projects, from indie video games to animation, and I’m currently focused on my ongoing graphic novel series Pandora. I draw inspiration from Manchester’s open, diverse energy and bring that vibe into my work—bold visuals, quirky characters, and a love of storytelling. I’m always exploring new ways to combine art, design, and narrative.…Hi, I’m Parker Cliffe, an illustrator and comic artist from Manchester, now working across Leeds.
