Reviews

[PJ Ebbrell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found two books by Paul Hogarth in the local library a good few years back and recently found myself looking for his work again. This was the only thing I could find. A great read about Paul's life with drawing and working with various writers. His work would be called mixed medium using pencils, watercolours and ink. His compositional eye is superb.
