David began illustrating in 1986 and spent the first six years working in advertising and editorial. During this time he gained valuable experience in animation working on backgrounds and assisting animators. In 1993 he decided to concentrate on children’s books and worked on a variety of projects from reference to picture books.

 

More recently he’s started writing and illustrating his own picture books. He likes to take the traditional format of folktale and fable and inject his own brand of humour which he hopes will appeal to adults as well as children. David is married and lives in Oxfordshire with his Croatian wife and their two children.
