Hughes orignites from Marple, Stockport, in the UK. He is known as an artist & illustrator despite the fact he asociates himself as "a graphic designer who happens to illustrate". During his youth he was certain that he wanted a career in the arts & studied at Twickenham Technical College in the early 1970s on Illustration however judging by the name of the college, it was mostly techinical illustration rather than expressive.
Once he had earnt his 4 year degree he was commissioned by the Daily Express's cookery page. However after 4 years of techinical drawing he was incredibley frustrated by the built up creativity he had not yet expressed. This sent him to give up drawing for a year or so to become a post man. Luckily a colleague of his inspired him to take up life drawing & then realised there was a market for his work.
