About me

My name’s Rory Walker and I’m a professional artist based in Bristol, UK.

Since leaving Falmouth College of Arts many years ago (and Brighton University more recently), I’ve put my mark on many aspects of illustrative artwork for clients all over the world.

I’ve worked for video games companies designing 2d artwork and textures, created album artwork for record labels, designed T-Shirts and posters for bands and gig-nights, drawn children’s books, illustrated educational books, filled the pages of magazines with editorial work, worked with graphic design agencies, advertising agencies, media companies, web companies, film makers, and so on.

Currently I’m the resident artist for Quadrotech-it and the Practical365 website.

Clients include –

BBC, ITV, Aardman, Disney, Rebellion, OUP, Macmillan, Usborne, Ransom Publishing, Dyson, Puffin, Orchard Books, Country Life, etc.

Testimonials

Rory brings vivid, accessible humour to his work. It’s constantly surprising how accessible he makes potentially complicated things, adding life and detail where you wouldn’t expect it. It’s a joy to publish it as part of an advice and information service. It really adds something.

— ADE LUKES – PUBLIC LAW PROJECT

Rory is an absolute pleasure to work with. He always hits deadlines, provides illustrations in the format we want and above all injects fun and quirky humour into the trickiest of illustration briefs. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

— EMILY HOOTON – KEN VAIL GRAPHIC DESIGN

Rory is a delight to work with, over the years we’ve worked together on a number of projects and his work never fails to hit the spot. He’s a fantastic artist and illustrator who is funny, insightful and inspiring! .

— MATT TIDBURY – THINKNOODLE STUDIOS

Rory has always been fantastic to work with. His sense of fun never fails to bring more to the story than I hoped for, and his professional way of working keeps the schedules ticking along. I happily recommend him.
