Wesley Robins
Illustration & Design
My name is Wesley Robins and I am a freelance Illustrator and Designer from London, creating a wide a range of work including book design, narrative illustration, paper toys and gifts, both for children and adults.
After studying at Chelsea College of Art and Design, I went on to graduate from Kingston University with a BA Hons First Class Degree in Illustration and Animation. In 2008, during my second year, I won the Macmillan prize for Children’s Book Illustration and in 2009 won the Kingston Reportage Award, judged by Olivier Kugler.
In September 2011, my first Graphic Novel ‘Ascent’ was released, written by Jed Mercurio and published by Jonathan Cape. A full review can be seen here at the Guardian.
At present I have just finished a second line of children's travel booklets for BPE Int Ltd, of which examples from the first set can be seen here.
I have also recently completed a range of 14 novelty Birthday cards for Clintons, again in congunction with Cardooo, containing a mixture of fun facts, games, puzzles, quizzes, stickers and more.
