The Wild HooBoo

Since then, he's been picking up multiple awards for the illustration work he does for such clients as The New York Times, American Airlines, The Telegraph and many more besides. His work has appeared in magazines, books, exhibitions, on textiles and homeware, and in advertising campaigns around the world. His first picture book for young children was published in 2019 andsince then, his books have been published in many languages around the world. He now lives and works in Co. Down, Northern Ireland.
