ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR


Chris is a published children's book illustrator and author. He works with traditional 3D materials, such as modelling clay, to create characters. They are posed, photographed and then composed in Photoshop. He uses a variety of techniques for creating backgrounds. This ranges from actual stage sets, using hand built props, to watercolour or digitally rendered backdrops.

He is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure a client is satisfied with the final illustration. The image is uploaded to a web server as a PSD or JPEG file and is available to download at any time.

He has worked for various clients including:

Macmillan Books, Mantralingua Publishing, The Eden Project, Community Care Magazine, Duchy College, The Woman's Farmers Union, Look North Design Studio, The High Sheriff Of Cornwall Office, EEFO, The Trevithick Society.

He also does workshops in schools, helping children to create models to create their own illustrations. An example of an illustration created by Alverton school is shown below:
