<p>He produces screen prints, paintings, gocco prints and 3D objects from a studio that he shares with 7 other artists in the centre of Bristol.</p>
<p>Tom explains about his sketchbooks, 'I would not consider myself a keeper of beautifully filled sketchbooks, with flawless images and fully developed ideas, more a collector of bits of paper with odd ideas and scribbles, which I hope will one day turn into a pleasing and eye-catching illustration!'</p>

She has a very distinctive graphic style which although very graphic is still loaded with charm.&nbsp;</p>
<p>She works with white paper/notebook and black felt-tip pen ('I have them with me always').&nbsp;</p>
<p>Reka explains about her process of working, 'Nowadays I draw on large sheets of paper and crop the parts I like. Color comes usually when Im more or less ready with the rough image in black and white. People told me that the colour combinations I use are strange/weird but I like neighbouring tints and colours that are very close to each other and only in certain light for example they show that they are different.'</p>

<p>There's a trend these days to make modern non-fiction much more reality based and straight. What I like about Myers' illustrations in these non-fiction books is they still manage to inject some childish naivety and spontaneous playfulness into the books.</p>

This guy can do no wrong in my opinion. I first became aware of Ungerer when I was writing an essay about Axel Scheffler for my illustration MA and I went to interview him, on asking about his influences the only children's book illustrator he mentioned was Tomi Ungerer and at the time I had no idea who that was. Now, as a fan of Ungerer's work, I can see the similarity of his and Scheffler's illustrations.&nbsp;</p>
