Alice Bowsher’s Illustrations Are Simply Delightful

Alice Bowsher sort of stumbled into her job as an illustrator. “I’ve always liked drawing for myself but never really thought it could be a viable career choice,” she told Lonely Planet.

“I thought I would work in fashion but ended up studying Fine Art at Bath Spa University,” she explained. “As soon as the course started I realised it wasn’t going to work out for me so I switched to Graphic Communication, where I muddled my way through type and font projects for a year until we started working on image-based work. I had a great tutor who spotted my drawings in the margins of pages and encouraged me to draw for projects and that’s where it all started.”

It’s a good thing her tutor spotted her drawings! With cartoon-like figures of animals and humans, her quirky illustrations are all the rage.

Bowsher says she takes her inspiration from the world around her, from people she sees on the train to her close circle of friends.
