Adrian Mills Design

I am a freelance artist and illustrator and children's book illustrator currently based in Suffolk. I studied for a BA Hons in Fine Art, followed by an MA in Children's Book illustration at Cambridge School of Art (ARU). I have been drawing since I can remember!

My work primarily consists of pen and ink drawings with a vibrant mix of colour.  I enjoy creating character and aim for my work to be contemporary, quirky and fun. I aim to appeal to both children and adults.

I am presently showing my work at various exhibitions and in magazines and presently working on a picture book and working on various projects and just finished a one year project a drawing of life project 2011-2012 in which i drew life that i see everyday in a sketchbook.

If you are interested in my work or have any questions or requests please don't hesitate to contact me.
