Summary
Stanley Chow discusses growing up in Altrincham, his childhood drawings on chip-shop paper, art-school experiences, and how he built a career as an illustrator known for portrait-based gig posters and commissions. He explains the difference between an artist and an illustrator, his creative process and use of digital tools, notable collaborations (including the White Stripes and a New York Times Trump balloon), and his thoughts on Manchester’s creative scene, music, and football.
