I began my career in graphic design eventually founding my own design group, TWD, in 1970. Five years later, on the back of great success, I sold the company and began a second career writing and illustrating my own books. I have published eight works so far, two of which have been best sellers. I moved to the south of France in 1988 and later featured in an award-winning BBC television documentary chronicling my life and work. I have had four one-man exhibitions as well as contributing to various group shows. My original paintings and drawings can be found in major public and private collections in Europe and the USA. I am now once again based in London creating new books and working as a freelance illustrator.
