Adam Douglas-Bagley is an illustrator and storyteller from South London with a deep passion for creating fantastical worlds and populating them with an array of whimsical characters. He has always created illustrations with a story in mind and many of the books Adam read as a child still heavily inspire his work today. He hopes to one day inspire the next generation of illustrators to pick up a pencil and start spinning their own tales. Adam won a Commended place in the 2020 FAB Prize.
