Over the years, Liverpool born Adrian Johnson (b. 1974) has developed a unique and strongly identifiable body of work. His trademark economical, highly crafted, graphic work is constantly evolving, whilst always maintaining a healthy distance from current trends and passing fashions. Adrian's work has already led to a prolific working career and a client list which includes Paul Smith, Adidas, Stüssy, Monocle, The New York Times and Unicef. Attention to detail, humour and a simple timeless sophistication mark him out as one of the leading illustrators currently practicing.

Adrian Johnson has exhibited work in London, New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo. He has lectured at numerous colleges and universities across the UK, and was a judge on the D&AD 'Illustration' panel in 2010 and 2012.

After living in London for 15 years, he now lives and works in Lewes, East Sussex. He is married, with two children.
