Adam hayes illustrator biography

Lyndon Hayes was born in England in 1975 in the East Midlands and now lives and works as an artist and illustrator in London. Lyndon has a BA in illustration from the University of Brighton and an M.A. in Communication Design from Central Saint Martin’s College.

Lyndon’s style is divided into two parts. The painted pieces that played a key part in his early development as an artist/illustrator & the more fine line pen approach that now forms most of the commission requests. Traditional mark making and reportage has always been at the heart of Lyndon’s methods, injecting a more personal element into the working process.

Lyndon works on a wide range of commercial commissions from large institutions such as English Heritage to more editorial areas such as The Observer Monthly Magazine whilst regularly exhibiting his paintings in London & further afield. He also lectures in illustration at the University of Derby and contributes to the MA online illustration course at Falmouth University.
