About
Gordy Wright
Gordy Wright is an illustrator and printmaker working from his studio in Bristol, UK. He graduated with a first class degree in illustration from the University of the West of England (UWE) in 2014.
In his illustrations he aims to evoke a natural and textured feeling which he creates through a variety of layered traditional techniques. He works on a wide range of editorial and publishing projects and loves to weave narratives throughout his work. He loves all things nature themed and enjoys being outside whether it be exploring the countryside, riding his bicycle or just watching birds in his garden.
Gordy’s clients include Aquila Magazine, Art Angels Publishing, Frances Lincoln, The Lancet, Words & Pictures Books and many more.

Reviews
-
Throughout the timeline are “Toolbox” asides, which creatively signal the behaviors, anatomical features, and adaptations that contributed to a group’s survival. Wright’s illustrations of sharks swimming through their watery habitats provide lots of details to observe; the creatures’ rounded, cartoonlike eyes imbue them with personality.
