ABOUT
Robert Dunn is a Scottish illustrator and children’s picture book author.
For nearly twenty years, he has been creating digital and traditional illustrations in his cluttered but cosy home studio in the wilds of South Lanarkshire.
In 2011, he worked with Hometown World to illustrate the Santa is Coming to... series. These books are a huge international commerical success, selling millions of copies leading to spin offs and board games.
When not illustrating other people’s words, Robert writes his own stories. His first book, ‘Spacewalkies’ was published by QED in 2015. ‘There’s only one Scruffle’ followed in 2016.
He lives with his wife, children, and a contumacious budgie named, ‘Chirply’.

"A good drawing always comes first. My process involves mixing pencil drawing with digital colouring. This helps to keep the feel of traditional illustration. I love to draw all types of subject matter but space and spooky subjects are favourites."
