About Perry Taylor

Perry's cartoons of country life are a great success. They capture the simplest of pleasures in the French countryside. Markets, grape picking, hunting, playing boules or quilles, mushroom hunting, vide-greniers, chance encounters and village life. Full of detail and always something funny going on, whether it's farmers, expats, ducks or chickens. 

The original ink drawings are now available,as well as reproduction prints on A4 and A3 art paper, signed by the artist. Perfect as gifts or souvenirs of life here in the slow lane.

Perry's background

Perry has over 25 years of advertising and designing experience in his back pocket and now enjoys life out of the office environment, at the other end of an ADSL line. He shares his home and toothpaste with his Dutch wife Caroline, in the Hautes-Pyrénées, SW France.

Having always designed and art directed creative work for other people, he has found time to be creative for himself. He has always drawn since a very early age when his grandfather spotted his talent and employed an art student to teach him perspective, light, colour and shade. The cartoons began to evolve and many people have found themselves to be the victim of his funny felt-tip pen.

For those who like facts and figures, he has worked on recruitment, retail, pharmaceutical, FMCG, travel, cars, spirits and entertainment accounts. Over the years, his quick-draw talents and conceptual thinking have seen him art directing for brands such as Nissan, Bacardi-Martini, House of Fraser, The UK’s National Theatre, Mitsubishi Motors, UPCtv, General Motors, Boehringer Ingelheim, AON and Malaysia Airlines.
