Des Taylor is inspired by “Real People” and capturing a moment that people can relate to. His Girls are sassy, cool, funky and desirable.

In 2009 San Diego-based Ape Entertainment brought out the first Katie Rogers graphic novel.

In December 2009, Des Taylor hosted his first art exhibition-THE ART OF DES TAYLOR at the Maverick showroom in London’s East End.
