Lawrence took a General Art and Design BTEC First Diploma at Canterbury Technical College, then went on to the KIAD at Canterbury to study for a BTEC National in the same subject. After becoming disenchanted with art education, he then worked "regular" jobs to train himself in the field he wanted to be in. In 2000, he became a character animator for the UK-based Web design company Lightmaker. He worked there for three years before becoming a freelance artist.
Lawrence came onto the comics scene with his own title, Darkham Vale, which he created, wrote, and drew, with the series running for ten issues. [1] It received acclaim, especially for a new creator and a small publisher.
He went on to find success with Lions, Tigers and Bears , written by Mike Bullock and published by Image. A four-issue series, Lions, Tigers and Bears, was a surprise hit that revolved around a young boy and his stuffed animals. [2]
Lawrence is now a successful freelance comics illustrator, working on titles such as A.T.O.M. , Doctor Who Adventures and 2000 AD .
He is currently working on several projects for IDW Publishing and is self-publishing his creator-owned title Tinpot Hobo which he writes, pencils, inks, colours and letters.

As of 2011, it generated more than ¥2 trillion in revenue, making it one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time.
IDW Publishing is an American publisher of comic books, graphic novels, art books, and comic strip collections. It was founded in 1999 as the publishing division of Idea and Design Works, LLC (IDW), itself formed in 1999, and is regularly recognized as the fifth-largest comic book publisher in the United States, behind Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, and Image Comics, ahead of other major comic book publishers such as Archie, Boom!, Dynamite, Valiant, and Oni Press. The company is perhaps best known for its licensed comic book adaptations of films, television shows, video games, and cartoons.
There have been three main publishers of the comic book series bearing the name Transformers based on the toy lines of the same name.

This was followed by a second volume titled Transformers: Generation 2, which ran for 12 issues starting in 1993. The second major series was produced by Dreamwave Productions from 2002 to 2004 with multiple limited series as well, and within multiple story continuities, until the company became bankrupt in 2005. The third and fourth series have been published by IDW Publishing with the third series starting with an issue #0 in October 2005 and a regular series starting in January 2006 to November 2018.
