I've been working in Children's Book Publishing for just over 30 years. I learnt to illustrate traditionally, using pencil, paper and paint, but about 15 years ago moved over to working mostly digitally in Photoshop and Illustrator using a Wacom tablet and stylus. Recently I've been also been working on an iPad Pro using Procreate.
I enjoy working in different styles and for all age ranges of Children's Books.
I've worked on a wide variety of Licensed Character projects for major publishers from Winnie the Pooh to Dora the Explorer. For over 15 years I've been one of only 3 illustrators working on all the Thomas the Tank Engine books for Egmont Books. I'm always up for a challenge and welcome any opportunity to try a new style.
