About the Artist
A little bit about Ripley Gosling
Hello, I’m Ripley
I like to live through the eyes of lost historical figures or unique creatures scuttling about in the undergrowth. I spend lots of time immersed in history books, nature documentaries and picturebooks. I turn these adventures into illustrations and create my own visual narratives in the forms of picturebooks, comics and paper engineered books. I am often fascinated by the unusual oddities within medieval bestiaries, the speculations into the disappearance of Swallows in winter or the daily life of the creatures in the ocean depths. I think that other people might find these stories fascinating too.
