Joe Fenton

Joe Fenton is an incredibly precise and talented illustrator. After studying sculpting at the Wimbledon School of Art, he began working in the film industry for directors such as Terry Gilliam and major studios like  Disney and Miramax as a film concept designer and sculptor in both London and Prague. He relocated to New York where he published children's books as illustrator for which he's received several high profile awards. He was one of just twenty finalists selected out of thousands across the USA to show at the 2010 Miami Art Basel in Miami, Florida. His personal work is inspired by the early surrealists such as  Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel, illustrators like Arthur Rackham and Wayne Anderson, and the graphic excellence of M.C. Escher.

    This guy is fantastic, I discovered his work today and it’s all I’ve been looking at all day. Work has been put to one side!
