Littler, Jamie

Jamie is a St. Albans-based illustrator who graduated from the Arts Institute at Bournemouth in 2008, and won a High Commendation in the Macmillan Children´s Book Award in the same year.

Since then Jamie has worked with many varied clients, and his debut children´s book, ´MUM´S THE WORD´, written by Timothy Knapman, is to be published by Hodder Children´s Books in 2013.

He is the creator, writer and illustrator of the on-going comic series ´COGG & SPROKIT´ which is serialised in the Phoenix Comic, and his debut fiction series ´ATOMIC!´, published by Scholastic Children´s Books, written and created by Guy Bass, was released in 2012.

When not trying to tame his un-naturally fast growing hair, he likes drawing, colouring in, cutting things out and sticking things in. Whatever medium he uses, Jamie tries to create a ´hand-made´, organic and energetic feeling in his work. His interests are pretty wide and varied; although he does have a soft spot for wild animals and things that go bump in the night.

Jamie is represented by Jodie Marsh at United Agents.
