An Illustrative Life
Graham Percy was a New Zealand-born artist, designer, and illustrator. Born in Stratford, New Zealand, he studied at the Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland. Following his graduation in the early 1960s, he worked as an illustrator for the New Zealand School Journal and collaborated with various Auckland-based writers and artists. His design career included creating typography for several of Colin McCahon's exhibition invitations and establishing one of New Zealand's first design consultancies alongside Hamish Keith.

His diverse professional contributions included serving as the production designer for the 1973 animated film Hugo the Hippo.
