What Not To Give An Ogre For His Birthday

Will Hughes is a young illustrator and cartoonist, recently graduated from Edinburgh College of Art. Whatever he makes whether it is stories, cartoons or prints, he likes his work to be comic and humorous, and to tell the stories of all sorts of ridiculous things. From a old woman with a hoard of very helpful cats to burglars who have to stand on each others shoulders to rob a house. He usually draws these with a dipping ink pen and watercolour paints to create energetic, lively and fluid lines and colours. He is currently working on his first picture book, which tells the story of two children who embark on a very difficult hunt for a birthday present for a local ogre. The book is called - as you could probably guess -"What not to get an ogre for his birthday". He has enjoyed thinking of silly presents and drawing a smiling ogre with big ears who wears blue dungarees.
