Alex Bennett was born in Watford in 1981 and grew up in Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire. He graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University in 2001 with a degree in Illustration with Animation. He has illustrated three children's books Titch's Haircut (2002), Rory's Roaring Adventure (2006) for Haven Holidays and Soapy Sam (2012) for Handprint Theatre. Alex's talents have been in high demand from top-flight football league clubs who have taken up his initiative to design activity and puzzle pages for their match-day programmes based on the antics of their respective club mascots. Clients include: Bolton Wanderers, Burnley, Bury, Huddersfield Town, Leyton Orient, Middlesborough, Millwall, Peterborough United, Southampton, Southend United, Swansea City, Watford, Wigan Athletic and West Ham United. Last season (2012/13) you can view his illustrations in Watford, Swansea City, West Ham United and Burnley's matchday programmes respectively. Alex also accepts commissions of caricatures and one-off illustrations. Feel free to get in touch!
