Brian Bagnall, born in 1943 in Wakefield, England, first studied at Wakefield Technical & Art College (painting and printmaking) and at Kingston upon Hull College of Art.
Having achieved his National Diploma with distinction and after a year of teaching printmaking at Hull, he moved to Amsterdam, Holland, and worked for many international advertising agencies and magazines.
In 1970 he started to work freelance in Munich, Germany. Together with his wife he founded “Bagnall Studios,” working in a wide variety of fields. While most of the work concerned advertising and magazines at the beginning, the main accent is now set on books, ranging from cover design, illustration, caricature, cartoon, layout and text to the complete design of a book.
His artistic career was crowned by many exhibitions in England, Holland, Germany, Spain, Italy and Korea. He also teaches drawing and all different methods of painting.
Since 1972 Brian Bagnall has brought out 59 books and is now working on the 60th. Some of them have run out of print, but others like the ones here are still on the market in Germany. Most of the books about painting and drawing are also available in English, having been published in the USA (www.amazon.de, www.bol.de ).
