LISE RICHARDSON
I am a Bath-based freelance illustrator and designer. Past clients include: the BBC, Avalon Promotions, Jiksaw ltd., as well as various individual comedy acts such as The Delightful Sausage and Jonny & The Baptists.
In addition to client work, between 2018 and 2019 I self-published a magazine for fans of alternative comedy featuring content from a large range of comedians, which I designed and illustrated myself.
I have self-published several zines featuring my personal reportage illustration work, as well as comic books and general illustration collections.
