Hello, I'm Kate. I'm an illustrator. I studied illustration at Edinburgh College of Art. I draw with pen, ink and water colour and then finish with a digital tweak. 
I like scotch eggs a bit too much. Guilty of a pun or two. I do not like milky tea. I have two small children/ bullies. I live and work in Bristol. Say hello! kate@katehazell.com

What they say about me:

“Kate’s illustrations gave the front section of BBC World Histories magazine its own distinct character. She provided striking, quirky and original illustrations for a wide range of topics, in a tight timeframe. We liked her flexibility, lightness of touch and thoughtful approach. It was a great pleasure working with her!”

Susanne Frank- Art Editor BBC History magazine

“The team looked at various illustrators, but one stood out. The work of Kate Hazell was ideal—her style is fun, and clear, almost doodle-like, a perfect fit for the writing.”

Mike Turner- Art Director Prospect magazine. They even wrote a blog about it: www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/behind-the-scenes-a-new-lease-on-life
