I'm Wayne, father of 5, based in a small market town in Lincolnshire, England.

Inspired by the genius of Bill Watterson and E.H Shepard and Dr Seuss, I began drawing at an early age and have since worked with various clients from the publishing, animation and advertising industries.

My super power is character design and I love coming up with new and unique protagonists, ready to live their story.

I would love to hear from you if you think I would be a good fit for your project!
