Megan McKean is an Australian designer, illustrator and author with permanently itchy feet - her work is focussed primarily on travel and depicting colorful cities around the world. Megan's illustrations are characterised by bright color palettes, strong line work and surprising details hidden within each piece, encouraging the viewer to go back for another look to see what they may have missed. Her best-selling children's books have been shortlisted for several awards. The 'Hello...!' series, published in Australia by Thames & Hudson, has been reprinted multiple times, and is available in English and Chinese language editions.
