David Dean lives near Manchester with his two cats, and has been illustrating professionally for over twenty years, though he's been drawing since he was old enough to pick up a pencil. For the past decade he has primarily worked as a book cover illustrator and has now created close to 200 covers, for books by some of the UK's best-loved children's writers. That people keep letting him do this baffles him, but brings him endless joy.
