About me

Tom Peake is a freelance illustrator based in the U.K. With a strong leaning towards conceptual illustration, he seeks to provide visual solutions which challenge the rhythm of everyday thought processes. The use of conceptual strategies such as visual metaphor, metonymy, negative space, and visual ambiguity, drives his intentions to elevate ideas beyond that of accepted perception. Represented by Meiklejohn Clients include: Vogue, Which? Travel Mag, Harvard Business Review, Longreads, Politico EU, Financial Times, Women’s Health, Tesco, Orange, Bond & Coyne, Callison RTKL, Openwork, Louie Media, Falmouth University.
