Andrew Johnstone
Andrew’s drawing style is instantly recognisable in everything he creates. Recurring themes in his work include transport, animals, TV and film. He often translates his unique style to hand-stitch, creating intricate textile illustrations.

Andrew Johnstone works in a careful, precise and deliberate way – a style that shines through in any medium he chooses. He has taken to textiles, ceramics, printing and drawn media, often-depicting animals, transport and self-portraits, with a specific reference to 80s and 90s television shows and idents.
Andrew’s passion for drawing was nurtured from a very young age by his family and especially his mum Joan, who spotted his talent when he was eight. Drawing was also very important as it was a means by which the family communicated with Andrew, for example by depicting people or places that they were going to visit.
