Jonny Hannah



Jonny Hannah is another successful illustrator who is noted for his great lettering. Like Andy he uses screenprinting a lot but also I suspect just straight drawing and photoshop. His approach acheives an almost 50's quality in that printing at this time involved colour separation whereby each colour was printed individually one at a time. One colour could therefore be seen through another.

Jonny has a passion for Jazz and has produced a wonderful illustrated boofk on the subject. He's also written and illustrated a story about 'Rocket Man" based on his son's toy. Believe it or not he works in a shed in his back garden on the south coast.

Take a look at his work on the Heart agency website http://www.heartagency.com/artist/JonnyHannah/gallery/1
Alternatively Castor and Pollux in Brighton frequently have exhibitions of Jonny's work.
