Richard is a London born illustrator with over 15 years experience as an artist, and formerly as an agent, helping to nurture many other talented illustrators. From his first commission with The Times newspaper, he hasn’t looked back! His body of work includes editorial, packaging design, and games; as well as children’s publishing, cover design, fashion and costume drawing for blockbuster films such as Lincoln, Jurassic World, The BFG and The Witches.
Richard lives near Tunbridge Wells with his wife and dog. He loves drawing and has been scribbling away since he was a tiny boy – often covering his sister’s homework with his ‘masterpieces’, much to her annoyance. Richard loves to tell stories with his illustrations, especially if they involve animals and silly things.
Richard Watson grew up in a small village in North Lincolnshire. He studied illustration at Lincoln University School of Art and Design, and began working as an illustrator soon after leaving University in 2003. Richard uses a range of techniques to produce artwork mixing traditional drawing and painting with collage and mixed media. He also loves visiting galleries, watching films, and listening to music.
Róisín has always had a great passion for drawing and illustration. After graduating from animation college in Dublin, she spent a number of years working in television graphics. In 2015, she relocated to a city in southern Brazil and has been able to focus a lot more on drawing and illustration, which is what makes her happiest.
Rachael Davis is a mixed-raced Black-British children’s author who loves the magic of getting lost in a good book. She writes inclusive books for children of all ages, both fiction and non-fiction.

Pintachan’s real name is Pablo! And he lives in the north of Spain with his family where he enjoys watching old sci-fi movies, eating liquorice and, of course, illustrating children’s books. Pablo has worked for Hachette, Abrams Kids, Running Press, Quarto and McDonalds to name but a few.
Perry is a writer and editor at Little Tiger Press, where he works mostly on picture books and sometimes on novelty books. When he’s not making books, he spends his time playing music and discovering new restaurants. Perry lives in London with his partner and their much-too-fluffy cat.
Prisca is a child of the disco era – so dancing queens and grooving cats are right up her street. She sees the world of illustration as a dessert trolley laden with your favourite things. Why not taste everything – you can always go to the dentist afterwards. After studying Applied Art at school, she enrolled in a film studies degree and embarked on an adventure into the world of animation. She is still living the adventure, as the author and artistic director of the animated series ‘Grosha and Mr B’.
When she was young, Prisca adored the craft craze, Scoubidou. It’s that same simple creativity that gives her such joy now that she’s creating books for children.
