Philip Grisewood

Philip Grisewood was born in Worthing in 1978. He graduated from Camberwell College of Art in 2005 with a first class degree in illustration. While studying at Camberwell he was selected by the Association of Illustrators for inclusion in the books Images 28 and Images 29. Since then he has worked as a freelance illustrator and has had work published in various magazines including Little White Lies, Huck and SuperSuper. Philip currently works as a designer for the fashion labels Horace, House of the Gods and Buddhistpunk. His illustrations can be found on Horace T-shirts which are availble from Concrete and Kokon To Zai in London. His plans for the future are to develop his own line 'Beon' and to make a new website that combines both his work for fashion and his illustrations.

Philip’s illustrations use a variety of techniques that he has developed through years of experimentation with mixed media. He uses a combination of materials and methods such as drawing, painting, collage and screenprinting to build up densely layered images.

The ‘Weak Worker’ is Philip’s first animation and continues to use the layering processes of his editorial illustration work, producing each frame by hand. The film is a study on the theme of repetition and uses an office as it’s focus. This office environment is referenced through the use of carbon paper in the production of the animation.

The illustration work on this site is complemented by a selection of Philip’s photography, which has been produced as part of his investigations into the uses of different mediums.
