Thomas Tuke is a Comic Artist and Illustrator based in South London. A graduate in Animation with education in History and Arts, Thomas mixes cartoony appeal with passionate storytelling that takes shape within his paintings, ink drawings, and comic books. He has regularly contributed to various Zines and tours throughout the U.K, churning out art commissions along the way. Thomas is available for large projects and employed work in the field.
Asides from his Artwork, Thomas also has a sweet tooth for creative writing. He has published his own self-published comic Genma Visage in which he oversees the lettering, editing, print production, marketing, and website design. With positive feedback, he has continued the series throughout the years with ambitions for new upcoming titles, yet he is always open for paid work on other comics and projects of collaborative choice.
The full story and copies are available to read and purchase from his home page. In addition, feel free to check out the gallery section for further work including his sketchbook and studies of landscapes, animals and people.
