Jonny Hannah
Jonny Hannah is a freelance illustrator. He has many passions, including the music of Hank Williams, hand drawn lettering & the films of Jacques Tati.
His recent projects have included Northumberland Folk, & Shipbuilders & Fisherfolk, exploring the length & the breadth of the North-East of England, resulting in six exhibitions between 2021-23.
Recent publications have included a book called The Story of the Skids, by Richard Jobson, & Let there be Light – a psychogeographical celebration of the fair town of Hartlepool.
Jonny lives in the real place of Southampton, but also regularly goes to Darktown, his imaginary peninsula, where Slim Gaillard own McVouty’s, a second hand shop to die for, & Jacques Tourneur runs the local cinema. It’s all in a handsome volume called Greetings from Darktown… have a wee look…
He also plays in a top beat combo, The Postmen, delivering urban folk anthems with council estate choruses, about the pandemic, the existential uncertainty of
life, & the Elephant Rock, and is about to finish another book with punk-rock legend Mr Jobson, set in Kreuzberg, Berlin. So look out for The Alabama Song…
