Benjamin Richards Author & Illustrator

Benjamin Richards trained in Art and Graphic Design before turning his talents to children's book design. Benjamin has created best-selling designs for major publishing houses and retailers including Scholastic, Barnes and Noble, and Marks & Spencer. Benjamin's first book, 'Little Giraffe's Big Idea' was published in 2016 and is now available in the UK, Australia, Malaysia, South Africa, China and the USA. Louise has a BA (Hons) in Illustration and Animation from Newcastle College. Louise is inspired by the art of traditional animation, and all of her illustrations start out as pencil sketches. She uses a mix of pencil, ink, textures, Photoshop and her trusty bamboo tablet to bring her illustrations to life. Louise's work is quirky, fun and traditional but with a humorous twist. Louise works from a small home studio with two teeny, tiny Jack Russells to keep her company.
