Dan Strange is an illustrator and visual storyteller creating bold, cinematic artwork for publishing, film, music and narrative projects. His work is defined by expressive characters, atmospheric lighting and a strong sense of drama — bringing stories to life with a painterly, narrative-driven approach.

Dan has worked with a wide range of clients across entertainment, media and publishing, including Disney+, All About History, Observer New Review, NME, Creative Review, Aconyte Books, Centipede Press, Angry Robot Books, Tyndale House Publishers, Times Higher Education, Sunday Times Travel Magazine, MOJO, Which? Money, Wired Italia, Inside Housing, Naim Label, Ransom Publishing, Tellison, Empirical, Sons of Kemet, and The Fun Lovin' Criminals.

His illustrations span book covers, movie posters, narrative pieces, editorial images, album art and visual storytelling projects, moving confidently between genres — from adventure, thriller and historical fiction to supernatural mystery, dark fantasy and contemporary narrative work.

Drawing inspiration from pulp art, classic cinema, graphic storytelling and expressive portraiture, Dan creates images that feel immediate, emotional and character-first. Whether illustrating a novel, shaping the tone of a film poster or crafting personal narrative art, he brings atmosphere, composition and clarity to every project.

Based in the UK, Dan works internationally with publishers, studios, musicians, magazines and creative agencies.
