henry Fothergill is a writer, illustrator and animator based in Cromford, Derbyshire. They create worlds through writing and illustrations that feature real human stories with fantastical elements. There is a sense of wonder to Henry’s work, their work exists somewhere between the bizarre, the haunting, the
relatable and the adorable.
They use traditional pen and ink techniques with watercolours, gouache and acrylic inks as well as digital colour to produce a vivid, unique style. Some recent clients include Down to Earth Derby, Haarlem of Wirksworth and Scarthin bookshop cafe.
Henry is currently working on their debut graphic novel, which is supported with arts council funding, alongside other short stories. They are currently accepting illustration and animation commissions.

Henry's current favourite
piece of stationery is a
