About the artist

Phil Illingworth was born in 1955 in Yorkshire, England. He studied at Portsmouth College of Art (1975 - 1978), and spent much of his earlier career as a designer and illustrator working for an impressive list of blue-chip companies and household names.

During those years he gathered an audience of enthusiasts and collectors on an international level, and now works full-time on his art.

He has exhibited in the UK and the USA, his work has been published in national and international magazines and was recently shown in a C4 documentary. His work is also on display at Amora in London and is published in the 2007 book 'The World's Greatest Erotic Art of Today'.
