Artist Phil Hale in 2008 at the reveal of his portrait of Tony Blair.

Philip Oliver Hale (born in 1963. Boston Mass.), is an American figurative painter who currently resides in London, England. Here is what Hale has to say about his work:

My career in illustration stretched from 1981 to 2000 with a few later forays and lapses….The more illustration work I did, the more its necessary strictures and compromises became trouble…My unhappiness with the illustration work I was producing pushed me into portraiture and then fine art (though that is a dumb misnomer in many ways). But as I progressed, an unexpected element that is normally associated with illustration turned out to be at the center of the newer work: narrative. In a way I stayed true to my original and unself-conscious love of illustration.
