After leaving art school, Christopher Sharrock began a career as a freelance illustrator but received a job offer as a representative at a large illustration agency in London. He soon left the agency to set up his own agency. Next, he worked on the groundbreaking British television show “Spitting Image” drawing caricatures of celebrities and then sculpting these in clay. The heads were molded to make the puppets that the show was known for. He later moved into higher education, becoming chair of a new master’s program in illustration at St. Martin’s School of Art in London. He worked at a number of British universities and was later dean of Camberwell College of Arts, part of the University of the Arts, London. He is now dean of the College of Art, Media and Design in the University of the Arts in Philadelphia (not affiliated with the school in London of the same name).
