exclusively representing
Rohan Eason
Inspired by an obsessive attention to detail, and cinematic compositions, Rohan Daniel Eason’s meticulous and expressive hand-drawn style is full of layers of narrative, context and atmosphere.
Even the simplest line drawings express the confidence and clarity of Rohan's penmanship, and his passion for story telling and image making.
Delivering contemporary concepts and ideas within a classically crafted aesthetic, Rohan's work sits comfortably in a publishing, editorial or advertising project.
Based in London, Rohan is inspired by artists like Aubrey Beardsley whose prints he first saw in his grandmother’s house when he was growing up. Today, critics freely liken his work to Gorey and Sendak. His career has taken him from Fine Art Painting through Fashion to illustration today, and evidence of his vast experience is clear in richness of his drawings.
Approach
Rohan uses pen and inks, and generally works in black and white, although has proven to be just as at home with watercolours and washes. All his work begins with a focus on composition, before characters and context are introduced to the scene. He is a great believer in sketching through the idea, and tries to bring as much of the delicacy of his pencil work through into the final inks.Style
There’s strength and clarity in Rohan’s work, alongside subtle nuances that will insist on a second and third look. The importance of his style 15 years on from his beginnings in illustration, is more instinctive now, giving him more time to focus on conceptualising the brief, and delivering a truly unique viewpoint and aesthetic.Client list
Rohan’s clients include Harry Potter, Harrods, DDB Deutschland, Volkswagen, Macmillan, Penguin Random House, Candlewick Press, Orion, Pushkin Press, Pegasus Life, Royal Shakespeare Company, UNICEF, Laurence King, GQ, Rotary among others.
“Rohan was a pleasure to work with. The process was very smooth. He responded to our brief and comments well and both myself and the client was very pleased with the finished illustration. The look and feel of the illustration fitted perfectly with the mood of the plays that the theatre wanted to get across in their publicity.”
Paula Mallet, Feast Creative
‘Rohan’s work seems to come from a place of otherworldly vision. With staggering precision and startling beauty, he renders every detail of these dreams before they can evaporate. The results deserve as much to be printed in our finest books as to be framed and hung on a gallery wall.’
Michael McCartney, Simon and Schuster
From the get-go, working with Rohan was an absolute pleasure. His craft and attention to detail helped realise such charming illustrations for the History of Magic: A Journey Through… series of eBook shorts. Beyond Rohan’s strong understanding for imaginative, illustrative artwork, he also boasts great communication skills and is able to navigate complex briefs and evolving projects with professionalism and skill.

"Rohan's darkly witty illustrations were the perfect accompaniment to the book. His thoughtful and intelligent approach was exactly what we needed and what's more he was a pleasure to work with."
Simon Moore, Baby
The dark element of Rohan's work fits nicely into the suffering and
mysterious quality of bike racing. The posters were a huge success, we immediately sold out.
Joe Hall, Rapha
Your contribution proved essential to the project: your compositions were clear and very respectful of my text. You're a superb artist. I would happily recommend you.
James Palumbo, Ministry of Sound
