Hailing from Vietnam, Alice Cao is an illustrator, BA(Hons) Illustration graduate of the Cambridge School of Art and holds an MA in Visual Communication from Birmingham City University. She enjoys the fantastical, the historical, and everything in-between. Currently based in the charming little medieval town of Shrewsbury, UK with her partner and the looming threat of drowning in houseplants and collectible figurines (‘tis a most serious predicament), Alice specialises in traditional hand-drawn illustration.

Dip pens are her weapons and ink is her poison. She would take a stab at most things, though what comes out tends to take a turn for the unsettling and strange. When not working, she can be found indulging in her seventeen thousand hobbies. Clients include Harper Collins, Tor, Simon & Schuster, Illumicrate, Fairyloot, The Broken Binding and others.
