Newton Davey (also known as David Newton) is an illustrator, screen printer, picture book creator, and well-collected artist.
A graduate of the MA in Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art, Davey is based in London and is a proud member of Print Club London.
With over 17 years of experience in the book and publishing industry, Davey has spent his career immersed in his greatest passion and source of inspiration: books. His creative heart lies in the joyful meeting point of words and images—a space he explores through both storytelling and printmaking.
Davey describes himself as an image maker, crafting every piece entirely by hand. He avoids computers altogether, instead working with real pens and pencils, cutting and scribbling, collaging with tape and tracing paper—before exposing his handmade artworks directly onto screens for printing.
He prints and creates his artwork here in the studio at Print Club in Dalston, which he shares with friend and long-time collaborator Rose Stallard—a space full of creative energy, colour, and analogue charm.
