Chris Dickason spent the majority of his education drawing on his friend’s schoolbooks, and was brought up a diet of Tom and Jerry cartoons, Asterix comics, Swiss chocolates and French sunshine. His illustration style has been described as charming, visually striking and populated with rambunctious characters that are a cleverly crafted mix of an uncomplicated line style, wonky perspectives and conspicuous colour choices.
