  Clifford Harper
Clifford Harper (born July 13, 1949) is an artist who describes himself as a "committed anarchist".
Heavily influenced by comic books, Eric Gill and the narrative woodcuts of Frans Masereel[?], Harper's style evolved in the 1980s into a bolder, more expressionist direction, with much of his later artwork resembling wood or lino cuts, although in fact he still mainly works in pen and ink.
As well as being one of Britain's leading radical illustrators, Harper remains a committed and engaged anarchist activist by continuing his involvement with the organisation of the UK's annual Anarchist Bookfair[?], and small press publishing projects.
