Bill Hope

Bill Hope is a commercial Illustrator living and working in Katoomba. Having studied at the National Art School, The College of Fine Arts and the Julian Ashton School, Bill has spent the past 10 years working full time in the illustration industry. He is currently represented by the Jacky Winter Group in Australia, the UK and US.

His work combines a traditional approach to hand-drawn illustration, with an affinity for the digital sphere and the array of tools it provides. His work ranges from large-scale elaborate compositions to quick sketches and cartoons. With clients ranging from Disney, CBA to Sydney Children’s Hospital, Redcross and the NBN, Bill’s work has been of a broad scope and scale. He has held four solo exhibitions of his work, published multiple books and is the recipient of national (Julian Ashton, Golden Ledger) and international (High Art) prizes.

Bill is the illustrator of the new You & Me series with bestselling Australian author Andy Griffiths. Bill’s commercial work is complemented by his fine-art practice, where he exhibits and sells his work at the Lost Bear Gallery in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales.
