Amanda Wood began her career in illustration at the Natural History Museum, and went on to be the founding Editor and Publisher of Templar for more than 30 years. In her time there, she published and nurtured numerous Greenaway winners, and edited and wrote groundbreaking series such as The Ologies, which have sold over 19 million-copies worldwide. Today she writes and runs her own small press from her home in Surrey.
Mike Jolley studied Graphic Design and Illustration before going on to work for Templar for 30 years, as a designer and then art director. He had a three-year 'break' working in an advertising agency in Amsterdam, but soon returned home to both the UK and to Templar. He most enjoys working on projects with Amanda, and with the amazing host of talented illustrators he has been lucky enough to work with over the years. He is currently semi-retired and lives on the Sussex Downs overlooking the sea.
ANDRES LOZANO is an illustrator from Madrid, who currently lives in London. He lists his inspirations as nature, architecture, Franco-Belgian comics and film noir. His work is characterised by overlayed colours, textures and strong line work. He has worked with The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Sunday Times, and Anorak.
