Philip Harris

My name is Philip Harris and I am freelance Illustrator, chihuahua owner and vintage blues fan currently based in Exeter, UK.

I became inspired by illustration as a child studying my grandfather’s old sketchbooks around the family home. During university I inherited my granddad’s collection of dip pens and began experimenting with pen and ink, Becoming fascinated by crosshatching, pointillism and line-work.

I still use the same pen nibs today as well as diversifying to use other mediums such as Rotring pens, fine liners, Posca pens, Procreate, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

I love to draw my inspiration from wildlife, the natural world and the folktales that are tied up with the landscapes around us.
