UPDATE 07 Sept 2024: Sadly, we must announce that Glyn Dillon is no longer able to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glyn Dillon (Born 1971) has had a wide-ranging career working as a comic book artist and author, a storyboard & concept artist, a director and more recently as a Costume Designer. Glyn started his career in comics at the age of seventeen, working with writers like Peter Milligan, Alan Martin and Neil Gaiman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After seven years of comics he changed tack and spent the next fifteen exploring the world of film and television, often working at Jim Henson\u2019s studios, \u2018RSA Films’ (Ridley Scott Associates), and also \u2018Zombie Flesh Eaters\u2019 the studio of Jamie Hewlett, the artist and co-creator of Gorillaz. On his return to the world of comics Glyn wrote and drew the award-winning graphic novel \u2018The Nao of Brown\u2019 for which, in 2013, he won ‘Best Book’ category at the ‘British Comic Awards’. It has successfully been translated into seven languages and the French translation, \u2018Le Nao de Brown\u2019 also garnered him the 2013 ‘Special Jury Prize’ at the world renowned ‘Angoul\u00eame International Comics Festival’. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In more recent years Glyn has teamed up with Costume Supervisor David Crossman, together they were Co-Costume Designers on ‘SOLO: A Star Wars Story’, continuing his relationship with the Star Wars universe, having previously been Co-Costume Designer on ‘Rogue One’, as well as Costume Chief Concept Artist on ‘The Force Awakens’ and ‘The Rise of Skywalker’. Then working alongside Dave Crossman again, together they designed the Batsuit for Matt Reeves\u2019 \u2018The Batman\u2019. Most recently Glyn worked again with Gareth Edwards, the director of ‘Rogue One’, this time designing robots for his Sci-Fi spectacular ‘The Creator’. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 2022 Glyn had his first London solo exhibition, entitled \u2018Who Am I Now?<\/em>\u2019 which featured a collection of oil paintings, all reflecting on the impact of his brother\u2019s death. Glyn is the younger brother of comics legend Steve Dillon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
