I am an illustrator and puppet maker from the UK, now living in Sweden. I have published several picture books with two of the countries biggest children's book publishers which have been translated into several languages. My creative career started in animation, working at Aardman Animations as a puppeteer on projects such as Shaun the Sheep and their Oscar-nominated film Pirates. Working in animation has had a great influence on my approach to illustration and I enjoy focusing on the eccentricities that lie just below the surface of everyday life. I paint traditionally in acrylic, where the process of telling a story through my paintings lies at the heart of my work. Thank you for looking at my profile! www.alexhowes.com[read less...]
