Rob was born in Lancashire in 1971. He realized quite early on in life that the only thing he loved more than jelly babies was drawing and painting.

He studied animation and illustration at the University of North East Wales and has spent the last 20 years working as an in house illustrator and greetings card designer. He has now taken the plunge into the world of freelance and is very excited by all the new opportunities ahead.

Rob creates his artwork using a range of techniques: pencil, watercolour, acrylic paint and digital work with Photoshop and Illustrator. He loves to be inspired by books, galleries, films and animation.

He lives and works in Wigan with his wife, son and comic book collection.
