“We’re All Quite Mad Here. You’ll Fit Right In”: The Icredible Detailed Illustrations Of Alex Heywood

Alex Heywood is a Scottish-born digital artist and illustrator who currently lives in Perth, Australia.

He graduated in animation from the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in Dundee and is known for whimsical, detailed artworks filled with animals, plants, and fantastical elements. His style features thin line art, low saturated colours, and a strong influence from wildlife and the natural world, often drawing outdoors for inspiration.

On Instagram, he shares finished pieces, work-in-progress shots, and art from both personal and collaborative projects.
