Howard Gray

Howard pursued art throughout school but, after much deliberation, decided to pursue a career in science; completing a BSc in zoology and then a PhD in molecular ecology and phylogenetics, studying dolphins in the Arabian Sea! This research took Howard to Oman where he worked with a team studying the amazing diversity of marine life in the region.

Now, Howard has returned to his dream career of becoming an illustrator and has worked on a variety of fiction and non-fiction titles. Howard’s work is predominantly digital, but he loves to play around with textures and often incorporates watercolour washes or photos from his personal library.

These days, Howard lives with his family in the picturesque city of Durham, UK.
