Sav Akyüz

Sav Akyüz

Sav is an acclaimed storyboard artist and children's book illustrator of picture books. With over 15 years of storyboard artistry behind him, Sav has been asked to sketch many things by TV advertising executives. Things that excite (sports, cars, a combination of the two) and those that, perhaps, don't quite hold such glamorous appeal (such as roasted vegetables!).

But it hasn't all been Porsches and potatoes — Sav has also served time as a visual effects artist on numerous feature films; enjoyed an unforgettable term at the legendary 'Jim Henson's Creature Shop'; sweated as a cloth layer-upper for famous Brit brands Burberry and Aquascutum; and, perhaps most proudly of all, peddled 99 Flakes and Funny Feet as a wannabe 'Mr Whippy' stationed outside the Tate Britain. He lives in London.
