TRYSTAN MITCHELL:

 

---

An illustrator and pro-active paper meddler living and working in Cornwall, I’ve scribbled and scratched away at one surface or another ever since realising I could do more with a crayon than chew it to a satisfyingly gooey pulp.

Early fascinations with comics, classic Victorian illustrators, and the folklore and myths of Europe and the British Isles, fostered a real love for narrative illustration and the universal powers of story.

I've provided graphics for an ecclectic range of clients, from traditional sign writing for Rick Stein and The Seafood School in Padstow, to editorial illustration for The Guardian newspaper, as well as  the logo and character artwork for the Hexagonal Phase of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for BBC Radio Four. Currently I provide freelance illustration to various European and international publishers, including Pearson, Ballon, Oxford University Press, Macmillan,  McGraw Hill and De Agostini.
