Illustrator Paul Blow Creates Simple‑looking but Idea‑rich Artworks, With Restrained Palettes and Clean Lines
Paul Blow is a Scottish‑born, Dorset‑based illustrator known for witty, concept‑driven images that strip ideas down to bold shapes, limited colour and dry humour.
A graduate of Maidstone College of Art with a master’s in Narrative Illustration, he has spent decades working mainly in editorial and commercial illustration for clients like The New York Times, The Guardian, The Independent, New Scientist and many more, as well as album covers, posters, murals and animation. In 2024 he won the V&A Illustration Award (Advertising & Commercial) for an album cover for The Chesterfields, cementing his status as a leading figure in contemporary British illustration.
