Joseph Bayfield Illustration

Whether you need illustrations for a children's book or graphic novel, promotional material for an upcoming event, or a portrait of your favourite cat, I hope you will find my work suited to your needs. I am open to commissions and look forward to whatever exciting project you have cooked up.

Please have a look at some of my illustrations below, or browse the gallery to get an idea of my past work.

Hello! I’m Joseph, an artist and illustrator based in Bury St. Edmunds in the UK. I specialise in digital illustrations that convey a sense of whimsy, playfulness and humour.
