Hi, I’m Alexandra Cook 👋🏻
I’m a London-born illustrator and comics artist now based in Tokyo, Japan, and represented by Illustration X.
I’m a London-born illustrator and comics artist now based in Tokyo, Japan, and represented by Illustration X.
My work is narrative-driven, drawing on folklore and an ongoing exploration of identity, memory, and place. I create atmospheric, textured imagery that balances the intimate and the surreal, with a strong focus on visual storytelling.
Alongside my illustration practice, I am the author of two independently published graphic novels with Koguchi Press; "Momotekku" and "Sparrowsong", and have contributed to a number of small press anthologies. In 2021, I was selected as one of Broken Frontier’s ‘Six to Watch’, recognising emerging voices in comics.
My work has been recognised by the AOI World Illustration Awards (longlisted and shortlisted, Exploration Artist, 2023), and I was awarded second place in the Manga Jiman Competition hosted by the Embassy of Japan in the UK in 2019.
Alongside my commissioned work, I run an independent print shop and Patreon, where I share personal projects and develop longer-form storytelling.
For commissions or collaborations, please get in touch via my agency or contact me directly:
