David Wyatt

Wyatt is an English commercial artist born in Northampton where as a child his interest in reading and drawing led to a love of comics. He has worked with many different media from paint to sculpture. He is well known for his book covers and illustrations for authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien, Philip Reeve, Terry Pratchett, and Philip Pullman. And also works on album covers for bands, Games and beer labels. He was trying to make a career for himself in music but after an unsuccessful band tour he decided that it wasn't for him. He got his first work creating the occasional page for the British comic 2000 AD while at college in reading. He now mainly works from his computer in Dartmoor, Devon using the landscapes for some of his inspiration.
