Leon Edler
I'm an illustrator, writer and creative director. I've been making funny, strange, occasionally beautiful work for the New York Times, Apple, the Guardian, Warby Parker, Brompton Cycles, and other people besides.
I won Young Cartoonist of the Year twice. I'm working on my first novel. I co-founded RoomFifty and Paper Hat.
I'm based in London and work from my studio in Brighton.
'…Leon Edler continues to inspire me. His clever, minimalist illustrations masterfully blend wit and depth, distilling complex ideas into simple, impactful visuals. His work is thought-provoking and funny, a balance of art and insight. Beyond illustration, he's a gifted writer and storyteller who energises and challenges me creatively in ways few others can.'
