Fortunately, his course was in the same building as the art department, he swapped and studied that instead. After teaching applied art to sixth formers for a few years, he became a freelance illustrator. Since moving to London, he has became a very successful illustrator of children's books, including Santa's Noisy House and Busy Holiday. He lives in the Cotswolds with his wife and two boys.
