I’m Paul Hampson, a cartoonist and illustrator with a background in design and art direction. Yes, my style of work is most definitely old-school, a style that’s been with me since I was handed my cartooning break while art directing with London agency Saatchi&Saatchi. My work has appeared for long list of names, including those below. I’m told my drawings contrasts well with a serious written stories or editorial of a less serious nature. My cartoon images convey ideas quickly where a thousand words would be otherwise needed.
So wherever a touch of humour, or a keenly observed situation is called for - I’m your man.
Enjoy browsing through my work and feel free to make contact if you have any questions relating, or would like any help and inspiration.
