Luke Pearson is a cartoonist/illustrator, (who usually refers to himself as a cartoonist, as he quotes, "It sounds more fun.") from the United Kingdom. He is well known as being the creator of the Hilda series of graphic novels, as well as being featured in an edition of Nobrow's magazine (issue #3 Topsy Turvy), and a graphic novel called Everything We Miss.

Luke graduated from university in 2010, and came out of his education with an illustration degree. His work was spotted by Nobrow, and since then he has been working freelance for them, illustrating books and graphic novels.
He claims to get his inspiration from old style books, vintage animation, as well as other artists and illustrators that Luke has encountered over the years.

I personally love his work, and I am a follower of his Hilda series. I was very grateful to be able to meet him when I went to London, in Gosh comics.
