hand-carved stamps by c.a.hileyHello! I’m a British/Canadian illustrator based in Belgium. Inspired by folklore, music and history, I create lively character-based images and patterns. My versatile hand-carved characters populate illustrated goods from prints to artist books to textiles. I aim for a playful and dynamic simplicity and directness in my work, both in technique and appearance.
After studying art in London, Berlin and Vancouver, I worked for many years at Edinburgh Printmakers as tutor and technician before moving to the Belgian Ardennes, where I now work as a freelance illustrator and run the risograph studio riso des bois with my partner C. Simonis.
