Esther Connon

I am an illustrator/printmaker working in Cornwall.

I graduated from Falmouth University’s Masters programme in Authorial Illustration in 2009.  Since then I have set up the ‘Old School Press’ where I design and illustrate limited edition self publications.

I have always had a passion for storytelling and so my work is narrative based. My stories are mostly told through pictures using minimal or no text.  Themes are often grown from small observations of my surroundings but then take you far away from the familiar on an unexpected journey.

I use a combination of drawing, printmaking and bookbinding techniques to realise my projects.

From my narratives I also produce limited edition screen prints, hand bound and printed notebooks and cards.
