Illustrator Tom Hovey describes himself as “the guy who draws all the cakes.” An apt description for The Great British Bake Off‘s official illustrator – a coveted job he\u2019s kept since it\u2019s inception in 2010. His multi-disciplinary approach has seen him apply his unique style across a broad spectrum of genres including TV graphics, food illustration, editorial, book illustration, storyboarding, animation, apparel design, and even murals. \n\n\n\n

But it all started by sort of mistake. \u201cIt\u2019s a real case of being at the right place at the time right time,\u201d he told Vulture. \u201cMy best mate worked in television and suggested that I apply for a job in \u2018the edit\u2019 at this new cookery show. With no TV experience or idea about how edits worked, I blagged my way in and started two days later.\u201d \n\n\n\n
