Encouraged by his art teacher at the Reigate School of Art and Design, Jonny is now an artist of many sorts: a talented illustrator with more than 300 titles to his name, designer, paper engineer, and, most recently, Group Design Director at Templar Publishing. Living with his wife, daughter and a menagerie of animals in West Sussex, Jonny is inspired by everything around him--anybody or anything, past or present, and his advice to aspiring artists is to believe in your own talents, be open to all stimuli, continue to learn, share your knowledge once experience has honed it and, finally, don't tell people what you can do... show them.
