Thomas Elliott

Thomas Elliott is an illustrator and designer with a keen love of nature. When he’s not creating beautiful books, he likes to spend time with his family and two dogs.

Thomas Pullin

As Thomas spent the majority of his education daydreaming and staring blankly into space, his teachers thought he’d never amount to anything. But it looks like he got the last laugh because since graduating with a BA (Hons) in Illustration from Falmouth University, he now makes a living daydreaming!

Tim Budgen

Tim was born in Surrey in 1977, and is a freelance illustrator. His illustration work has been described as “storytelling with whimsical charm, warmth and humour”, and he’d like to think that is pretty true! To date he has illustrated over 50 children’s books, including: ‘The Magic Pet Shop’ and the ‘20 at Bedtime’ series, and ‘This is Me’ by CBeebies star George Webster.

Tom Knight

After several years of working as a graphic designer, Tom Knight found that true happiness lies in drawing pictures at the bottom of the garden for a living. He lives near Colchester, with his wife, Tabby, and their two boys, and can often be found plonking away on stringed instruments when he should be drawing, or drawing when he probably should be doing the washing up.

Tony Neal
