Babak Ganjei

Babak Ganjei (born 1978) is an English artist and illustrator based in London. He is known for his humorous and confessional text-based paintings.

After graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2001, the first decade of his career was spent playing in bands and creating comics. He was a member of the band Absentee for six years.

Alongside comic books, Ganjei has published two titles with Rough Trade Books: one consisting of his film ideas, and another, Art Is The Thing Nobody Asked You To Do, which the publisher describes as "a radical new take on the artists' manifesto".

He has created short films for Channel 4 and production company Blink, and featured in two BBC Radio 4 programmes with his son Arthur.
