Harry Woodgate is an illustrator from St Albans. His work combines collage and print processes with digital imagery. He's inspired by various themes including mental health, politics, LGBT+ issues and our relationship with the natural world. When not illustrating he's usually making music, petting his cat or drinking unhealthy amounts of hot chocolate. Usually all three at once.
