Johanna Basford OBE (born 1983) is a Scottish illustrator. Her illustrations are hand-drawn, predominantly in black and white, with pencils and pens. Basford's works can be found in products such as colouring books, wallpaper, beer labels and even tattoos. She is known to be a pioneer of the adult colouring book trend. Johanna Basford was born in 1983 in Scotland and grew up on her parents' fish farm in Auchnagatt in Aberdeenshire. She graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design (DJCAD) in Dundee in 2005 with a degree in textile Design and a specialization in screen printing. Basford lives and works in Aberdeenshire, Scotland where she owns a small studio in a converted farmhouse with large windows that overlook the surrounding fields. She believes computer generated graphics can feel "cold and soulless," which is why she uses traditional media. Since publishing her first adult colouring book Secret Garden in 2013, she has sold more than 21 million books worldwide, making her a leader of the adult colouring book boom. She was previously married to James Watt, the co-founder of Brewdog, the 'punk' craft beer company and together they had 2 daughters. In February 2021, she announced on social media that she had separated from her husband the previous year. More information...
