FAQ

Can you tell me more about yourself?

I live in South Wales in the UK with my wife and 5 cats. I have been writing and drawing since I can remember. My main love is animals and nature - hence I don't use any animal products in my art or my dinner.

In my spare time, I read, play the guitar, practise karate and volunteer with Cat's Protection.

Why did you start Big Panda & Tiny Dragon?

I have studied spirituality for a long time as help with my own mental health.

The things I learned I felt would help all kinds of people so I wanted to start a group but never quite had the courage to do so. Instead, I thought maybe I could make those powerful ideas accessible to people in the form of drawings.

Is there a book?

Yes, the book is available here, and I have a new book coming out in September

Will the book be available in my country.

A list of translations and publishers can be seen here.

The book will be available in many countries but I don't know exactly which ones. It would be best to contact your local book seller.

Do you do commissions?

Sorry, I am not taking commissions at the moment.

How do you create your pictures?

The old fashioned way with pen, ink, brushes and paper. I use a variety of tools including dip pens, black ink, water, fine markers, a set square, a ruler, a ceramic palette, white ink, watercolour paper, tissue, a scalpel and watercolour paints.

Can I use your pictures for something?
