I'm an author illustrator. My books are inspired by the gooniness of children. I have always loved drawing
I am a self taught as an illustrator and studied Theology at Cambridge. I learned the tricks of the trade by drawing objects to scale for the Oriental Galleries of the British Museum, and then later working on newspapers.
My books have been widely translated, and one, The Twins, was adapted for a cartoon series.
