Nigel Buchanan

Illustrator Nigel Buchanan’s work is all about whimsical concepts and people … lots of people. His powerful and distinct portraits have appeared across dozens of international editorials and covers, including Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, Don Cheadle, Beck for Billboard Magazine, Kim Jong Un for Newsweek, and he crossed off a bucket list item when asked to create a cover for TIME Magazine, featuring Indian Prime Minister Modi. He also created 21 portraits for TIME’s annual TIME 100 issue.

Nigel lives in New Zealand, studied Visual Communication at what is now Massey University in Wellington, and has two silver medals from the NY Society of Illustrators, a number of silvers from AWARD, a handful of bronzes and a bunch of Communication Arts trophies.
