Artist Bio
I’m Michael Young and I’m an Essex based Illustrator and Artist. Ever since I was a kid I have been putting marks on paper and could always be found, pencil in hand, scribbling the world around me.
After developing my illustration services business, Family Scribbles, for a few years, in October 2021, I left my full time job in Insurance to become a full time freelance illustrator and artist. In Family Scribbles, I produce illustrated family portraits and am enjoying designing logos, children’s books, animation and even interactive art installations.
