New Author

bryony

It’s 2010 and Human Resources™ is starting to develop a more feminine side. We are really happy to be introducing Bryony Lloyd, our latest author. Since graduating with a degree in Illustration from the University of Brighton, and mucking around in New York for a bit, she has been working as a freelance illustrator in London.

Bryony cherishes all things nostalgic and tries to project this in her collage work, taking reference from old books, films and people that she admires (or is obsessed with). She wont admit it herself, but she also has her own eclectic blog of interesting books and people, that has been high on our blog radar for some time now. Well worth checking out.
