Joshua Clay
Character Designer & Illustrator
Currently Looking for opportunities within the industry as a character designer or illustrator!
I was born in Stafford, UK in 1994 and throughout my childhood I had an intrigue for all things animated, from TV shows like "Pinkie and the Brain" to films. Disney was the major inspiration through growing up, I adored the old classics such as "Black Cauldron" (I watched the VHS so much I wore the tape down) and as the years go by this fascination with the animated world never dies down.
​
Having graduated in Animation from Staffordshire University in 2016, I set up as a freelance artist, doing streams and commissions for many clients since then. Over the past few years I have been more focused on creating characters and storytelling using imagery.
In addition to art, I enjoy watching movies and reading fantasy novels, which both influence my creative process. I'm never seen without some sort of pencil and sketchbook on me, you never know when inspiration will strike!
