About Me
I’m Jasper Smithers, an illustrator with over 30 years of experience, based in Gosport, Hampshire. With an HND in Illustration, my work has taken me across various industries, including military, events, and publishing. I’ve had the privilege of capturing moments at military balls, Navy and Air Force events, and creating musician-inspired artworks. I thrive on variety, keeping my work fresh and engaging. Whether it’s detailed portraits, lively event sketches, or imaginative illustrations, I love bringing stories to life through art. I work from home but travel within Hampshire for events. Commissions typically take up to 3 weeks, depending on complexity.
