Meet Basil, a friendly herbivore from my Monsters Gallery exhibition. With his textured coat, zigzag back plates, and oddly sharp grin, he’s both endearing and a little mischievous. He adores Italians, thrives on a Mediterranean diet of fresh greens, herbs, and vegetables, and while he’s usually a gentle soul, he perfectly blends friendly charm with just a hint of danger – so those teeth suggest you might not want to get too close!

"Endlessly curious about the power of the creative mind."
Hi, I’m Richard Hood, a graphic designer and artist based in London. I work primarily with pen and ink illustrations, combining traditional and digital techniques to create striking images with strong visual impact.
My focus is on monochromatic work and simple color compositions that connect with viewers. I enjoy exploring different conceptual themes and finding ways to make each piece both visually compelling and emotionally engaging. Thanks for stopping by to check out my work—I really appreciate you being here!
