Hello, I’m an author-illustrator from London. I’ve made nine picturebooks with Walker Books, including The Girl with the Parrot on her Head, ALPHONSE, THAT IS NOT OK TO DO! Hilda and the Runaway Baby, I DO NOT LIKE BOOKS ANYMORE! ALPHONSE, THERE’S MUD ON THE CEILING! Get Real, Mallory and THERE IS NOT USUALLY A HOLE. I also made Hamish takes the Train, published by Two Hoots. In America, most of my books are published by Candlewick. Favorite Favorite, written by M. H. Clark, is published by Compendium. See Books for translated editions.
My board books, MONSTER CLOTHES, MONSTER FOOD, MONSTER TOYS and MONSTERS GO are published by Walker and Candlewick.
I studied Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art and English and Creative Writing at Warwick.

In theory, I have a shop where I sell some of the original screenprints from my books, but at the moment I don’t have much time to list things so if there’s ever a picture you’re interested in that isn’t there please do get in touch.
SOMA in Bristol sell some of my screenprints and a range of screenprinted tote bags, t-shirts and hoodies. Children’s Book Illustration (in Bedford and online) have some screenprints from The Girl with the Parrot on her Head.
