I ran into Paul Ellis, Radlett resident and genius illustrator, outside Tesco yesterday. He told me he’s got a new web site. Paul’s a modest man but clearly immensely accomplished in practically any medium – from the most delicate pen and ink drawing up to a thirty foot wall-filling mural (nip out onto the smokers’ terrace at the back of The Railway on Watling Street for a quite mind-blowing example of the latter). His portfolio confirms this. He helped me with some beautiful comic book-style illustrations for a booklet we produced at Fair Field Junior School a year or so back and I’ve seen his work sell as quickly as he can hang it at the annual Radlett Art Society exhibition.
From his web site, I also learn that he’s illustrated a number of album covers, including one for the legendary Nick Drake.
The picture shows Paul at a fireworks display ages ago.
Hi Steve
Thank you very much for your kind words, much appreciated. We hope the Radlett Wire is a success. Once Paul has finished his painting/illustration for the Radlett Centre we will let you have a copy.
regards
Jan/Paul/Tom xx

Like to get in touch with Paul. Knew him at school and at Norwich school of art.
