Web design has become an integral part of what I and Hooklinks offer our customers, this is often a secondary service to support the illustration or web design parts of the business. Equally where the customer may have requested graphic design, they may have also sought illustration or web design after discovering it is available from the same source. The ability for me to supply an integrated service has been a key part of what I do day to day and often wins work others lose. The following are some of the businesses I have and do support.

About Me
My Name is David Batten, I have been working as an illustrator since 1985, working freelance for various individuals and publishers (Crowood, EMAP ) producing angling book and magazine illustrations. In 2000 I had a chance to go full time and set up Hooklinks to manage my work life after 30 years in engineering.
In 2001 it became evident that there was a wider market for my skills when asked to do some packaging work for 2 tackle and bait manufacturers, Korda and Innovatebaits. The latter was to see my skills pushed into web design and development.
Today all of these skills are used to provide support for a wide range of angling, fisheries and related businesses. On the journey I have taken on insurance, mortgage and NLP businesses as clients, all of whom continue to use my services today,
My angling illustration has come a long way from those humble days in the mid 80's as you will see in the various pages of my website.
