Born in New York in 1962, grew up in Scotland, now living in Oldham, England. Life as a child was spent outdoors: in the fields, running, climbing, jumping, and fighting, and indoors: making cardboard and sleeping. Now, as an adult, his favourite pastimes are much the same.

Probably best known for inventing the isosceles triangle, he now makes a living as an illustrator and tap dancer.

His client list includes: B.B.C., Heinemann, Penguin, Radio Times, Best Magazine, Oxford University Press, Oxprint Design, Virago, Cambridge University Press, Scribners, Cardinal Books, Severnhouse, Titan Books, Arena Books, Penthouse, New World Publishing and many more that he can't remember.

He now lives quietly in the countryside with his third wife, Tiffany and their three children Tofu, Chicotitta and Krypton.
