About

Jonathan Woodward, Collage IllustratorHi, I’m Jonathan!

For as long as I’ve known, I’ve wanted to make a living from my art. As a child, I hung round with a bunch of brainy friends and was always known as “the arty one”.

I didn’t mind but as is often the way, art as a career wasn’t really encouraged at school and so I stepped into the world of graphic design – something that made me just a little more employable!

It took me over 30 years and 3+ years of running my own business as a graphic designer, to finally take the plunge and go after my dream career as an illustrator career.

Today I specialise in creating illustrations for a wide range of clients – from children’s book publishers to eco-resorts – using a cut paper collage style with recycled magazines.

I’m available for all types of commissions, including illustrations for:

  • Zoos, Safari Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries
  • Wildlife and nature magazines such as National Geographic
  • Promotional materials for organisations such as the World Wildlife Fund
  • Children’s book illustrations
  • Eco-resorts and safari lodges

Selected client list:

  • Quarto Children’s Books
  • Penguin
  • Batsford Publishing
  • PSDTUTS

Please get in touch if you’d like to talk about working with me.
