Logan Hanning

Logan Hanning is a comic artist and illustrator based in Shropshire, UK, originally from America. After graduating from Kutztown University, Pennsylvania with a degree in Art Education and Fine Art, they worked in Falun, Sweden as a textileand art teacher before studying for an MA in Illustration at Nottingham Trent University, then teaching as an Art Facilitator in Telford. Throughout their years of teaching, they've found that working with students lends authenticity to their work as they design characters that reflect younger generations. Their experience living and teaching in multiple countries has helped them better understand people and the ties that connect all of us.
Logan has been creating comics on everything from notebook paper to Post-it notes since their childhood. For them, comics are a language - how they process feelings, and experiences and connect with others. Logan's current work celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and challenges how we engage with gender in society and within ourselves. By working with traditional materials like dip pens and combining textures with digital elements, their comics have a hand-drawn feel which hopefully evokes memories of reading comics in the Sunday pages. They hope to keep creating comics and sharing them with others forever.
