An Audience with...
Nick Moffat
Tuesday 7th October, 2-3pm via Teams - instructions to follow
|
We’re excited to announce that next week, renowned illustrator Nick Moffat will be joining us for an online Q&A session with students. Nick has been a freelance illustrator for over 20 years, working across film, television, advertising, and animation. His passion for storytelling and narrative is at the heart of everything he creates.
Nick specialises in illustration for children's fiction, and in 2022, his book cover designs were highly commended at the World Illustration Awards. Since then, he has illustrated over 20 children’s books and has just completed a 200-page graphic novel for children, set for release in 2025. His impressive list of clients includes Google, BBC, Paramount Pictures, Virgin Holidays, LEGO, Warner Bros, The Guardian, and Microsoft. Nick’s work has even graced projects featuring iconic characters—fans of the eccentric Derek Zoolander might be familiar with one of his more unusual commissions! Nick and our very own Dwayne have enjoyed a bromance since meeting in 2003 while working as greeting card cartoonists. Their shared love of Owen Wilson and Jamie Hewlett forged a lasting friendship that continues to this day. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear Nick share insights from his career and discuss his creative process with you all! Check out Nick's site (embedded below) for examples of his most recent work... |

For those new to it, our 'An Audience with...' sessions are Q&A-based—not formal presentations.
Our guests won’t be giving a prepared talk about their careers. Instead, it’s your chance to ask questions. So take a look at Nick’s work (and that of future guests) and think about what you'd like to learn from him as you develop your own practice.
