A native of Scotland, Peter Arkle lives and works in New York. He creates illustrations for books, magazines, and ads for a wide range of clients, including Amnesty International, The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Guardian, and Esquire.

Featured in "The Best Graphic Novels of 2014" The Guardian. 
" Succinct and inexpensive, these short but lovely-looking books explain complicated ideas and histories with wit and great cunning."  Rachel Cooke.

Arkle grasps vividly the balance of Pollock's personal troubles with his intense eye for art, from the artist drunkenly crashing a dinner party to sitting in contemplation, immersed in the intricacies of jazz. Allison Meier, Hyperallergic

The book... [does] indeed feel vibrant, rather than a timeline of events or a chronological order of the artist's works. Ingram emphasizes the historical and cultural context of the artist's works... For example, when iconic photographer Cecil Beaton featured Pollock's "Autumn Rhythm" as the backdrop for a Vogue fashion shoot in 1950, it had the potential to boost sales and interest for Pollock, who wasn't doing so well financially. Nara Shin, Cool Hunting

"Ingram and Scottish illustrator Arkle portray their subject as a misunderstood victim of a fitful art world, addiction, depression, and other circumstances. The author's sensitive perspective is positively augmented by Arkle's youthful, graphic novel-like illustrations, which set this book apart from the many others about the too-brief existence of Pollock... The erudite Ingram sticks to the facts while theorizing that politics and society played a role in both the rise and the downward spiral of the man.  A refreshing and honest book."  Jennifer H. Krivickas, Bookverdict

"The volume on Jackson Pollock probes deep into the artist's struggle to master his inner expression...[t] looks at a 1941 MoMA show on Native American art that Pollock visited: its bold abstract figures, sand paintings drawn on the floor and huge scale had a major influence on his later "action" and drip paintings." Scott Garceau, The Philippine Star.
