Born in the north of England when life was in black and white and people were in fancy dress, I was lured down south by the bright lights of London and the promise of up-to-date fashions. A BA (Hons) in Graphic Design and Illustration, from Kingston Polytechnic, propelled me into the crazy world of commercials and pop videos as a Designer/Animator, after which I hopped daintily into feature film work at Richard Williams Studios. Craving the wild, I chose life as a freerange Animation Director and Illustrator, along with a stint as a lecturer in Moving Image at Kingston University. I continue to make charming animation and illustrations for charming and attractive people. Also a Co-Director of Mo Choy Design (for all your design needs!), I reside in the London area with my wife and 2 chatty Siamese cats. I make sourdough bread. You should too! I am a member of the assiciation of Illustrators.
