Tim McDonagh, a UK illustrator, conjures whole universes in just a single image, blending meticulous linework with vivid colour drawn from influences like vintage comics and tattoo art.

Every illustration begins with a pencil sketch, hand-inked using a paintbrush before he adds the final digital hues. His signature style has captured attention from major names like Nike, Apple and Lucasfilm, gracing everything from Star Wars books to New York Times Kids covers. Even after years in the field, the mesmerizing detail in his work continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
