Dave Sutton's headshot

I'm an Edinburgh-based illustrator with a wide range of clients. My work includes children's educational campaigns for the Scottish Government, editorial artwork, murals and children's picture books.

I love hosting arts workshops wherein I present playful fun exercises and focus on imaginations blossoming, boldly creating unique characters and entertaining storylines; and I tackle lack of confidence in drawing. My aim is to encourage creative thinking in a supportive and fun environment.

I also do event illustration wherein I attend an event and draw, scribble, sketch to record the moment in my own accessible fun style. I love working as part of a team; and remain amiable and accessible as I share new ways of working and chat about art.
