Bob Venables is an illustrator originally from Birmingham, England, who eventually became a freelancer after working in London in advertising first.[1]
He created illustrations of the Hogwarts House ghosts[3][4] and Hogwarts founders[5][6] and his pieces are seen animated on Pottermore.[7] Venables was specifically requested to use a "book of hours" approach, capturing a medieval look with an ornate border.[6]
