About/Information
Thomas Bates is a designer and illustrator from London, England. He's currently studying BA(hons) Graphic Design at Central St Martins. He has a fascination with lettering, grid systems, zines, photography and all things design.
Enough of the third-person malarky. It sounds oh so silly. I'm addicted to a few things too: Twitter, Red Bull, grime and folk music, pretty t-shirts, films and british sitcoms. One of them may very well be the death of me.
I'm always up for a new challenge and enjoy working collaboratively with other designers and illustrators, so if you have a project and think you might like team up, give me a shout. Also although I'm currently studying I'm also available for freelance projects.

Fancy saying getting in touch to talk about a project, collaboration or just say hey? Well it could be easier and I'd love to hear from you.
