I’ve spent the last couple of days in North Yorkshire and discovered two really inspiring artists while I was there. One whose prints are in the Gallery in Ripon is the work of illustrator Jonny Hannah whose composition, typography, use of colour, themes, energy and technical prowess blew me away. He’s head of illustration at Southampton. I bought his children’s book on jazz which is one of the most lusciously produced books I’ve ever seen, wonderful! I know instantly that Hannah’s work will feed my imagination in many ways.
