Kathryn Rathke Illustration

Kathryn Rathke Illustration Illustrator Lady specializing in expressive gestural lines. Welcome to my page! I am Seattle based, but with clients all over the world.

Energetic, fluid, calligraphic lines are my particular passion. I have a lot of portraits here but really I just love to draw anything: clever animals, rotting food, wafting clouds. Please feel free to leave me a message here, maybe we can work together!

I haven’t a business cards for years in years, but had some made for Automatafest. Then there was this big blank flip side, so created a quick image to spruce it up and plug my day job…

Happy birthday to Rupert Everett!

I was given the great assignment to draw him for the splendid Intelligent Life Magazine, as he was about to play Oscar Wilde on stage. It seems Everett’s whole life has been largely devoted to Wilde, so I had to include a choice quote, scathing as it is…
