About

Jamie draws because otherwise he’d just spend all his time giggling to himself, and people don’t trust you when you do that. He writes and illustrates cute and silly characters, and then weaves bizarre tales for them to canter through.
 

His characters Space Raoul, My Own Genie, Count Von Poo and Fish-Head Steve have all found homes in the pages of The Sunday Times, The Dandy, Toxic comic and The DFC respectively. Jamie is also the current writer and artist of iconic character Desperate Dan in The Dandy. He won a loyal and attractive audience with both his alternative comic book series Bear and Ubu Bubu (by SLG Publishing), as well as webcomics such as Whubble and Angry Little Robot. He worked closely with Cartoon Network for six years pushing his characters through show development, along with a more recent stint at Disney doing character design.

He is currently writing and illustrating his first children’s book ‘Find Chaffy’ for Scholastic books. The only downside to the constant excitement that buzzes round his veins is the inability to think about anything else, coming up with new ways for stupid things to do stupid things is his unending enthusiasm. Likes movies and biscuits. Dislikes jaffa cakes, and feels uncomfortable talking about himself in the third person.

They only have one and a half ears
