Roberta Giaitzoglou Watkinson is a British-Greek illustrator currently living in the UK.
With a background in graphic design and comics, Roberta has worked in both advertising and publishing. She is especially interested in themes of fashion, folklore, and magic.
She co-created the award-winning collaborative anthology Smutcomic, for which she received the Best Art Direction award at the 2022 Greek Comics Awards.
From 2019 to 2024, she worked as an in-house illustrator in TEFL publishing, creating images for all ages, during which time she discovered she thoroughly enjoys drawing fun stuff for children.
