Full of charming little characters surrounded by plenty of rich detail, Peter Allen’s illustrations are graphic and colourful. Travel guides, history books, children’s stories, advertising – they’ve all benefited from Peter’s vast images, each of which is full of fun and has many stories to tell.
Based in Eastern France, his influences include everything from Thomas Bewick and Hogarth to Galt Toys and Miffy. While he’s working, his music is equally eclectic with Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci, The Cosmic Dead and Causa Sui on the playlist. He also listens to the American West Coast Station KFJC and dreams of California, where he’d love to go big wall climbing in Yosemite National Park, and drive along the Pacific coast from San Francisco to Portland.
