WELCOME FRIENDS 🌝 〰️
Hey there!
I'm Darren, an aspiring children's book author and illustrator from Cambridge, UK.
I've been passionate about storytelling and drawing forever. I followed my passion for art and writing through school and into university, eventually studying animation and illustration in London, with the grand plans of making my own feature films like Nick Park. One day at uni, a random discovery of Tim Burton’s Oyster Boy book inspired me to start creating my own. From then on I realise that writing and illustrating my own books was the way to go.
Almost 20 years down the line and so far, I've managed to self-published three rhyming picture books, along with a few other smaller projects, that have found their way into independent bookshops, a couple of places online AND in one very lovely school library.
I'm currently on a journey to take my work to the next level by finding a lovely agent who will help me develop my craft and share my stories with the big wide world.
BIG THANKS FOR READING!
