About me

Rob Griffiths is an illustrator and painter with over ten years’ worth of experience and a passion for getting his hands dirty in the pursuit of creating art. Rob’s playful nature stretches far beyond his work (often finding its way onto his already paint-splattered clothes and odd socks) and shapes his outlook on life. Rob’s playfulness helps him search for joyful imperfections while relentlessly trying to keep adult life at arm’s length. Enjoyment is a huge part of his work and he hopes the joy he feels when creating is something which resonates with both adults and children.

• Templar Books Illustration Competition WinnerWon 1st prize for my interpretation of the Marge in Charge book cover. What a fun brief to work on. Trying to capture the wry smile was key to this design. I really wanted to bring out the mischievous nature of Marge in a simple and striking way.
