After a degree and ten years working in graphic design, Tom Knight eventually realized that true happiness lies in drawing pictures in a shed at the bottom of the garden for a living. Brought up on a healthy diet of Tintin, the Beano, and good country air, Tom finds his inspiration all over the place, constantly getting under his feet and making a mess. Tom lives on Mersea Island with his splendid wife, Tabby, and their two boys, Archie and Seth.
