Tallon Raw

Tallon Raw - International Hand drawn, organic illustrator. London

Loud, lively, frenetic and expressive, the ‘Raw’ brand of Ben Tallon’s artwork captures the many moods of modern life. His instinctive drawing style and ample splashes of ink, brush marks and scribbles bring the bravery to balance his quieter ‘Refined’ work. Ben’s ability to organise chaotic creativity and turn it into a cohesive, captivating image is exactly what his clients want.
Growing up in Keighley, West Yorkshire, the gritty energy of the former mill town informs his Tallon Raw illustration work. Ben loved Leeds United, wrestling and Japanese video games as a child. They still give him inspiration today, and sometimes feature in his work, alongside pop icons and TV stars. Now located in Salisbury, south of London, Ben is passionate about creativity and is the author of Champagne and Wax Crayons, as well as the host of the podcast The Creative Condition. He has a BTEC in Graphic Design from Keighley College, and a BA in Illustration from the University of Central Lancashire. APPROACH Pens, inks, brushes, acrylics, spray paint and pencils all come together in his layered Photoshop files for optimum flexibility across all media – Tallon is very much a mixed media creative. His perfect balance of control and considered chaos is at play in all his work, from simple line drawing and doodles, through to collage, set design, photographic treatments and motion designer collaborations for animation. Ben also works on location for film and TV, live and large scale. Thanks to his editorial roots and organic into digital method, Ben is able to work at speed to meet urgent deadlines without compromising quality.
