Daniel Long (Illustrator)
Daniel Long is an illustrator based in Norfolk, United Kingdom, and has been working there since graduating from university in 2014. His work is heavily influenced by the natural world, whether it's the dinosaurs of the Jurassic period, spider monkeys and jaguars of the Amazon rainforest, or the kingfishers and otters of his local Norfolk Broads. When not illustrating, Daniel can be found procrastinating by playing guitar or exploring the Norfolk coastline with his dog, Hendrix.
