About Paul

Paul Hampson

Paul Hampson is a cartoonist whose work features observational humour and visual wit, all in sketchy mischievous detail. His drawings have appeared in advertising campaigns for many companies including General Motors, Carlsberg Lager and Sainsbury’s, as well as in publishing, design and print.

Soft black pencil, Indian ink and bright spontaneous watercolour are Paul’s ‘old school’ materials of choice, though all his images are delivered in crisp digital detail.

Click through on the galleries above and enjoy looking around.

Contact Paul if you think he might help with your next project, or go directly to his shop – (when it’s opened shortly) to buy Giclee prints, cards and a whole variety of other items carrying his images.
