Laurence Whiteley

A professional Illustrator and Graphic Designer for over 20 years, born and bred in London where he still works from a home studio. A brief period at Art College made him realise that fine art was not for him! So after working as Art Editor on Custom Car and Superbike Magazines (where he discovered his passion for American muscle cars), he worked free-lance for several London Design Companies. He decided to focus on Illustration and became heavily influenced by the poster artists of the 1930's, some of the unsung heros of graphic design- Artists like Tom Purvis, Joseph Binder as well as Cassandre and the brilliant Ludwig Hohlwein.
