Jonny Hannah

Jonny Hannah is a Scottish illustrator and artist, born and brought up in Dunfermline, Fife. He studied at both Liverpool Art School and the Royal Collage of Art, since then his work has been greatly sought after.
He has worked for a diverse selection of clients including, English National Opera, Penguin and Merrydown Cider. As well as working for clients he also creates and sells artworks and books from his home under the name of Cake & Ale Press. Hannah does lots of paintings, screen-prints and linocuts, which are bought by collectors of his work.
Hannah is known for not only his artistry but his fashion sense is eye-catching, he mostly wears suits with bow ties and shoes to match. And like his dress style his artistic approach is very unique. His work has a real handmade feel about it with hand-drawn type often crowded in every possible corner and the textured effect clearly shows the use of lino-cutting and screen-printing. I think his artworks often have an African painting style about them with a mixture of retro at the same time.
