Life and work

edit

Hayes grew up in Upper Basildon, Berkshire.[2] He attended Abingdon School from 1995 to 2000.[4][5]

He works as an illustrator.[2] In 2004 he was a founding editor of Meat Magazine.[6]

In August 2020, Hayes and Guy Shrubsole launched a campaign on freedom to roam in England, called Right to Roam.[7] In July 2021 he and Shrubsole collaborated with Landscapes of Freedom and David Bangs to organise a mass trespass on the Sussex Downs to raise awareness of the failings of the 2000 CROW act, which Shrubsole claims still only gives the public access to 8% of land and 3% of rivers in England.[8][9]
