Hello!

I’m Paul Briginshaw — an illustrator, author, and visual artist based in Edinburgh. Ever since I can remember, I’ve been creating stories through pictures, sketching characters and worlds. There’s a kind of magic in being transported somewhere else by a single drawing, and I’ve always been captivated by the creative process.

After graduating with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from Northumbria University, I’ve continued to hone my craft, focusing on illustration, drawing, and painting. I’m especially passionate about children’s books, character design and the boundless possibilities of visual storytelling.

I love collaborating with authors, agencies, and publishers — so if you’ve got a project in mind, I’d love to hear from you!
