About The Author

From a young age Ian always knew he wanted to be an artist (or a dinosaur). A box of crayons would occupy him happily for hours, in fact some of his best work was in crayon on his mum's walls! When he got a bit older, and the house had run out of walls to scribble on, he studied illustration at the University of the West of England. Since then Ian has continued to draw and write funny stories, creating characters like the ones that had fired his imagination as a child. He now happily works as an illustrator (and not a dinosaur after all).
