Jonny Duddle lives in North Wales with his wife and young family. When he is not exploring forests and scrumping apples he is found sprawled across his studio floor, drawing and busily inventing worlds.
With his background in the computer games industry, Jonny is very skilled at character development; he initially works with pencil sketches and then draws and paints straight onto his computer using a Wacom tablet.
Having worked on a pirate ship (climbing up and down riggings), and as an art teacher in the middle of the Kalahari Dessert, it is no wonder that his recent work spans an exciting selection of projects including: his first picture book The
Pirate Cruncher (Templar), which he wrote and illustrated, the young fiction Beastly Business series for Simon and Schuster, Olaf
the Viking (Oxford University Press), and the cover and inside artwork for Terry Pratchett’s recent bestseller Nation. Shortlisted for an English Association Book Award (Best Children’s Illustrated Books 2009 category).
