Alex Hahn

I have over ten years experience creating editorial illustrations for many of the UK’s top magazines and newspapers, from spot illustrations through double-page spreads and covers. I use bold lines and strong draughting to deliver visual solutions to a diverse range of subjects and ideas. I’m equally happy creating conceptual or character-based, narrative images.

My practice centres around figurative and ideas-based illustration alongside independent publishing. I enjoy projects and subjects that push my work in new directions. I love working with ideas / concepts, characters and narrative, whether it's a single spot-illustration or multi-page sequential story.
Hire me for: editorial, book covers, book illustration, posters, portraits, comics, storyboards, advertising or any project you feel my work could suit – let's talk!

Inbetween commissions, I publish small press books and zines as BlopShop where I regularly exhibit at conventions and fairs across the country, including: Thought Bubble, The House of Illustration Illustrator's fairs and ELCAF; my books and zines have been bought across the globe. My story, SPACE RACE! Was selected for the World Illustration Awards shortlist.

Outside of illustration, you can find me walking around the Buckinghamshire countryside, enjoying an (unpretentious) coffee, gardening and looking after nature.
