Max Jackson Editor, Illustrator & Author

Max Jackson studied Graphic Design at the University of Sussex, and for ten years has worked as a designer, producing a variety of highly successful children’s books.

He loves to draw and the weird and wonderful world of his illustrations extends to his jungle-like desk, inhabited by a menagerie of quirky doodle characters and fledgling plants.

Max lives in a cottage, will only ever be seen in suede shoes and silk scarves, and in summer his studio is filled with the scent of sweetpeas from his garden.
