Daniel Long is an illustrator based in Norfolk, England, who has been working there since he graduated from college in 2014. His work is heavily influenced by the natural world, whether that be the dinosaurs of the Jurassic period, spider monkeys and jaguars in the Amazon Rainforest, or the kingfishers and otters of his local Norfolk Broads. When not illustrating, Daniel can be found procrastinating, playing guitar, or exploring the coastline with his dog Hendrix.
