Born in Dundee, Scotland 1977.
Allan showed a flare for all things creative, even as a kid.
With a passion for drawing and an overactive imagination he would spend hours designing & creating characters to live in his own fictional worlds.

After graduating in 1999 with degree in Illustration & printmaking, fate took Allan to London where he worked as a freelance graphic designer in the fashion industry specialising in apparel graphics - particularly T-shirt prints.

Having worked for many well known high street retailers and brands
such as GAP, Topman, Firetrap, Bench & Pepe Jeans - Allan is no stranger to the world of commercial design.

He has recently returned to his passion for illustration & is currently focusing on this side of his career, working on both commissions and personal projects.

With a slightly retro style, Allan’s work is mostly character based with a bold graphic look based on strong line drawing. His quirky illustrations often include an element of humour and fun.

Allan has recently contributed to several books such as GRAFUCK 2 & 3, Eye Candy for Strangers, The Big Book of Illustration Ideas 2 and Images 32. His work has also appeared in such group exhibitions as Power in Numbers and GRAFUCK at Gallery Nucleus in LA and Dazed Digital/Wrangler’s Wanted exhibition in Milan & Stockholm.

Allan currently lives and works in East London with his overactive imagination!
