In this episode, Nikky's guest is Vic Lee, an award winning Artist, Author and Illustrator with a studio in Peckham, South East London.
He has created bespoke artworks for some of the worlds biggest brands including Nike, JLR, Crabtree & Evelyn and The Famous Grouse.
He also has a dedicated range of products commissioned by The Tate and has been an inspirational speaker at events around the world.
From huge elaborate, typographic, storytelling murals, designed and hand penned, to fine, intricate print works, Vic fills spaces with mesmerising and engaging artistry. A former graphic designer, Vic now embraces traditional hand crafted design with his unique style of penmanship.
In 2020, his work completely stopped due to the pandemic. Staying creative, he began illustrating and writing the Corona Diary. A personal journal of the first 6 months of the year with news stories he read about in the UK and around the world, all included within the book. The final diary was eventually, after 6 months, self published and self funded by Vic. Launching a signed artists edition through social media, the 2,500 copies sold out in 8 weeks. This book has gone on to win prestigious awards for Typography and Illustration and is now published as a mainstream edition by Frances Lincoln.
