Designer Desire: Peter Clayton, fine artist

Last week, when I was searching for examples of illustrator, Peter Clayton‘s work I came across another artist – Peter Clayton, fine artist!

The latter’s work is completely different but equally eye-catching. This week’s Peter Clayton works primarily in mixed media, silkscreen and lino-cut. His subject matter covers urban, rural and coastal landscapes and architecture.

Peter Clayton is Lancashire-born and, since the 1980s, has been practising and teaching in Leicester. He has been commissioned by P&O, Faber & Faber and Rugby Art Gallery and Museum and has been Artist in Residence in Grizedale Forest in the Lake District.

I can’t remember where I first came across the fab illustrations of Plymoth-based Peter Clayton – I’ve had him on our Designer Desire ‘to do’ list for AGES!

Clayton’s illustrations are bright, cheery, distinctive and humorous. His Series of Problems with having Short Legs is so funny!

See more of his wonderful designs on his website, his Dribbble page and his Instagram stream. He currently has a few examples for sale on Etsy.
