Cheeky, irreverent and vivid illustrations by Thomas Hedger

When we came across Thomas Hedger’s punchy, flat style of illustration, we were reminded of the strong lines and intense palette favoured by one of our 2013 Graduates, Edward Carvalho-Monaghan. That being said, Thomas has a style of his own that he couples with subjects ranging from the dreamlike to the dirty. Working from a house boat in London, he also produces a seemingly neverending stream of work and posts one illustration a day on Instagram. Creating digital, block-coloured interpretations of everyday objects and people, his work is both interesting and joyous.
