Jonny Hannah

Jonny Hannah was born in the kingdom of fife and studied illustration at Liverpool art school. He graduated in 1998 and since then as worked in the majority of the illustration fields, including working on the animation ‘The man with the beautiful eyes’ which aired on channel 4, this animation then went on to win numerous numbers of BAFTA.
As well as working on animations he also produces work for books and posters, he experiments with screen printing and creating work for box sets. In 2001 he co-published the book ‘the captain’s alphabet.’ He has also published ‘hot jazz special’ which was shortlisted for the 2005 Victoria & Albert Museum Illustration Award.
I love screen printing but I don’t really like the work of Jonny Hannah the colours used aren’t the colours I like and I don’t like the overall feel of the images. I like the use of typography in the work but that’s about it, it’s not something I would look at in the future and I doubt I would work in this style ever, because the images look so dark and depressing.
