Cathy Hookey

 concentrates on humour, narrative & design, full of shape, texture & very bright colours, with brave compositions & a strong sense of movement, alongside a bit of eccentricity

inspirations include 'cartoons, film (especially horror), people, nature, perfume & books.

When I'm not drawing I like writing, printmaking, cooking vegan food, creepy-crawlies, wine, Pokemon & my breathtaking bronze fennel plant, Bonsly. Add me on Twitter or Blogger if you're into my news/illustration/ramblings!'
