About Me

I am Vic Gandy, an illustrator living in the Cornish countryside, I love living in Cornwall, and I am forever inspired by the beautiful views, fresh countryside, and the wonderful people here. I live in a picturesque part of the countryside surrounded by wildlife, distant sea views, and a unique Cornish mine that features several times in my latest illustrations.

My art is driven by a vivid imagination, nature, the magic of fairytales, fantasy and curiosity. I always have different crazy hair colours, I love to rollerskate and have an incredible band of glorious friends who help me endlessly.

I have wanted to create since I was able to hold a paintbrush! Most of my illustrations are created digitally, but they all start life as a photograph or a pen sketch. I have illustrated children’s and adult fiction books, GIFs, marketing media, posters, fabric prints and clothing patterns.

I love to sew, paint, sketch and really enjoy taking photos of plants and birds.
