Not only is his standalone work brilliant, but he also cofounded MakeMakeStudio with Chris Tozer to experiment with film and animation.

I don’t know why, but I still get super excited when I find a new British artist that I love.
I’m pretty sure there’s some kind of pseudo-nepotism-type word for it, but I just get all happy when I find someone I love over here in Blighty.

One of my most great and skilled friends just opened up a Folksy store. It’s full of greatness, and I for one am very excited to know this little entrepreneur.
The store is chocka with loads of lovely handmade knits, so I suggest you head there quick sharp to pick yourself one up as the cold weather closes in.
REPRESENT.
I’m all for representing artists and illustrators from the UK, especially when they’re as talented as Drew Millward.
