Right from the beginning he knew he wanted to draw silly pictures for a living ... and some decades later he's living the dream! Inspired by Muppets, Quentin Blake and the classic cartoons, Fred has been a compulsive doodler since he was in hand-me-downs. Since graduating from UWE Bristol in 1996, Fred has worked on all manner of projects, including greetings, editorial, advertising, publishing and animation - designing a series of animated spots for the BBC. He now works mostly in children's books, illustrating several titles for Usborne publishing, amongst others. Fred also loves to write and draw his own silly comic strips and is currently writing his first children's book. Interrupted only by tea breaks and a toddler, Fred works from his home studio in Swindon, Wiltshire, where he lives with his wife and two young children.
