About Me

Born in Blackpool and raised in Warrington. Studied at Cleveland College of Art & Design before getting my first work on Wallace & Gromit's "A Close Shave", followed by puppet painting on "Mars Attacks!" Since then I've had numerous picture books published and have worked as the designer of "Bob The Builder". Lucky enough to collaborate with Mackinnon & Saunders on my own production for the BBC, "Frankenstein's Cat".
