Hattie Clark

Yorkshire-based freelance illustrator Hattie Clark’s energy is infectious not only through herself but clearly showcased in her playful style of illustration. After studying her Art & Design Foundation diploma at Leeds College of Art, Clark attended Bath School of Art and Design where she gained her degree in Graphic Communication. It was in Bath that her passion for illustration really came to the forefront. Since graduating, Clark has been working as a freelance illustrator, building up work and projects whilst also exploring and developing personal ideas and prints.

Her work is pretty simple with a bold colour palette and lots of fun! Working mainly by hand, Clark feels like it’s the most natural process to adopt when creating her characters and scenes. “I love handmade methods as I think I can inject a lot of life and personality into my illustrations – something that is always an aim for me!” Clark says.

You can find fun her little characters diving around the page, who are inspired by a range things such as everyday life, people she observes, articles she’s read or sport. Currently, she’s continuing to experiment with a series of Risograph prints which you can purchase from our marketplace — Department Store! Shop below too.
