My background is in fine art, followed by postgraduate printmaking and illustration at Central Saint Martin’s. I worked for two London editioning print studios, Paupers’ Press and Hope Sufferance. I taught art and design for many years before becoming a full-time illustrator. My clients included Walker Books, Penguin Books and Eden Project Books, amongst many others. In 2006 I set up a gallery/shop—Frank— in Whitstable, Kent. Throughout this time I have continued drawing, printmaking, painting, looking.
