About
After completing an Illustration course in ‘91 I went freelance. Working on a number of projects for Tundra, work published in Heavy Metal and titles for MarvelUK I was then asked to work on 2000AD, a childhood dream come true.
Since starting work with 2000AD in ’93 I’ve drawn stories for Judge Dredd, Nemesis, ABC Warriors, Low Life, Shakara and Zombo among many others winning the Diamond National Comics Award for best comic artist, 2004. American work includes The Omegamen and Haunted Tank and recently my Art book; Broadcast the TV Doodles of Henry Flint has been released with celebrated reviews.
I’m currently (April) working on Judge Dredd and writing and drawing my own graphic novel to be published online in November. I live by the sea in Teignmouth, Devon with my wife and two children.
Hi Henry – I’ve been a big 2000AD fan for over 20 years and am MD of a digital marketing agency in Birmingham. We’ve got a client who’s looking to produce a comic-themed video for an award ceremony and we need to commission 5 illustrations. I think stylistically they’ve got Marvel superheroes in mind more than 2000AD… The theme is ‘heroes’ and the award ceremony is about celebrating supply chain diversity (big blue chip companies using small, ethnically diverse businesses in their supply chain). The illustrations may be fine to be done remotely or there’s a slim chance we might want to commission you to come to Birmingham to be filmed drawing some parts directly onto glass. Is a commission of this sort of any interest to you or could you point me in the direction of someone else who might be more interested / more local? Budget is likely to be £900-£1200. Thanks in anticipation of a reply and I LOVE your work!
Cheers,
Ollie Leggett
