Jonny Hannah was born and bred in Dunfermline, Fife. He studied illustration at Liverpool Art School and the Royal College of Art. Since graduating in 1996 he has worked as a freelance illustrator. His many clients include The Daily Telegraph, The New York Times and The St Kilda Courier. Any spare minute is spent at The Cakes & Ale Press, Jonny's cottage industry, producing fine printed ephemera, from his garden shed in Southampton. In 2000 Jonny won a BAFTA for his film The Man With The Beautiful Eyes.
He uses print (screen, linocut, monoprint etc) to create work that looks like it is made of collage to create his illustrations/graphic pieces. In his work, it is obvious that there has been a lot of thought into text within the illustration in order to convey the messages of the piece, however it is not to my own personal taste.
