Jim Butler studied at University College Dublin and Manchester Metropolitan University where he completed an MA in Communication Design in 2001. Since this time he has combined his own practice, (centred around drawing, printmaking and artists' books), with university teaching. His work has been exhibited widely in galleries in the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, Holland, Portugal, Mexico and the USA, while his commissioned illustration work has included national and international clients such as Adidas and Siemens. In 2008 he designed and commissioned a book of new drawings from leading illustrators including Quentin Blake, Ronald Searle and David Hughes to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the opening of Cambridge School of Art.
