Bill Hope is an artist and illustrator living in the Blue Mountains just outside of Sydney, Australia. Ten years into his career, Bill has established himself as one of the most versatile illustrators and graphic recorders working in the industry.

His command of traditional drawing has given him the flexibility to work across a broad range of disciplines. He has illustrated 9 children’s books with more than 50,000 copies sold worldwide, clocked up 1,000+ hours working as a live illustrator, and is sought after for technical diagrams, editorial illustrations and animation projects the world over.

Outside of the commercial sphere Bill has a thriving personal practice that has been expressed through a variety of outlets. He has held a series of solo exhibitions and has ongoing representation through the Lost Bear Fine Art Gallery. His graphic novel ‘An Interior Life’ won the Golden Ledger award for Australian Comics.

This year I can’t wait to…
Not this year unfortunately, but NEXT year I have a book and an exhibition coming out, both of which I can't wait to share with people.
As a kid, I loved to draw…
Secret underground headquarters.
My superpower is…
Not drawing but a desire to draw almost all the time. I don't think I have much natural ability but I have an almost indefatigable urge to scribble.
My project I’m proudest of to-date is…
Probably my graphic novel 'An Interior Life", I feel like I tried something really ambitious and it's still something that connects with a lot of people.
I find a project rewarding when…
I feel like I've overcome some kind of challenge and made something that surprised me and satisfied the client's brief.
My process is a mixture of…
Impatience and then lots of patience. I always want to get the initial sketch done super fast then once it's approved I'm happy to just tune out and chip away at all the details till it's where I want it to be.
