Paul Bruty graduated from Central Saint Martin's college of Art and Design in 1998 with a degree in Illustration. He photographed, designed and produced the first Saint Martin's yearbook, 'GDLA', with associate Daniel Prentice. Though most at home in the print room pursuing an interest in traditional print methods, most of Bruty's illustration skills were honed in developing a love of pencil portraiture. Since graduating he has worked across an array of creative fields ranging from book illustration to interactive design. He is currently Art Director at SHOWstudio.com where he is responsible for the site's design and build. He has also created web sites for a number of London based practitioners including art director Scott King, photographer Gareth McConnell and production company 'Gainsbury & Whiting', produced illustrations for London Graduate Fashion Week in association with Dazed & Confused magazine, and maintains his own online illustration showcase, 'Super-Reload' .
