Overview
I have been illustrating picture books since 1988 when I won the Macmillan Prize for 'Bushvark's First Day Out'.
This title also won the Mother Goose Award for best newcomer to children's books.
Since then I have authored over twenty books and illustrated more than sixty, including the internationally best selling 'Sometimes I Like To Curl Up In A Ball' (which was runner up in the Kate Greenaway Medal).
I specialise in animal characters (both fictional and non fictional), using water colour and pencils.
Publishers include: Macmillan/Puffin/Simon & Schuster/Gullane/Walker/Nosy Crow/Templar & Hodder.
I am best known for my colourful and comical characters, but I really enjoy doing darker edgier stuff too.
Monsters are a big fave!
I am open to a variety of illustration jobs including book covers, cartoons and animal caricatures (for example, goofy pet portraits).
