About | jonathanholder

Welcome to my site!

I am an artist and illustrator based in Leicestershire, UK. I consider myself a traditionalist, preferring to work on paper with coloured pencils but I also employ digital media on some of my pieces for additional effect.

My heart lies in writing and illustrating children's picture books, however, I have also produced portraits, caricatures, album artwork for bands and business logos.

Years have passed by but many of these friends are still with me. I've also picked up some new ones.

Although, sadly, I no longer have big hair.

I've been drawing since I was very young (and had big hair.)

My imagination meant that I was always surrounded by lots of friends.

For commissions please feel free to get in touch using the 'contact' section. I pride myself on making my work affordable for everyone and would be delighted to have an informal discussion about any potential work and offer a free, no-obligation quote.
