Jonathan Williams’s Summary

Since graduating from Edinburgh College of Art in 1993, Jonathan has worked as both illustrator and art director. His images have appeared in major publications, books and retail outlets for prestigious clients such as Paramount, Time Warner, Benetton and Unilever. He has also featured in American Illustration, Graphik, Creativematch, Design Week and the AOI Images. In 2006 his images for Virgin Atlantic's Upper Class Suite received a Bronze Award from the Association of Illustrators and his Ecolab recruitment ads were recognised with a GRAMIA (Grocery Advertising & Marketing Award). This year he was shortlisted twice for the V&A Illustration awards. Jonathan works from a farmhouse in the Buchan plains north of Aberdeen (Scotland), a beautiful and sometimes desolate landscape best viewed from a fur-lined parka.
