Based in West Yorkshire I do my design and illustration work between being front of house at the family antiquarian bookshop.
I studied Children's Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art after an illustration degree in Dundee (my dream was to work on the BEANO- there's still time). I had 15 years in the art departments of TV drama but am very happy with my move into the book trade.
My passions have always been food, theatre, gothic horror stories, channel4's 1990s topical sitcom Drop the Dead Donkey, and obscure or dead character actors.
