DAN TAYLOR

Dan Taylor was born in Staffordshire UK and has been working as children's illustrator for over 15 years. Dan's most recently illustrated book Papa's Coming Home written by Chasten Buttigieg and published by Penguin made it to the New York imes Bestseller list. Dan is also illustrator of the Mini Heroes of the Forest series by Auzou which has been adapted into a preschool series for French and Italian tv and is soon to be shown in more countries.


Dan finds much of his inspiration from 1950's and 60's design and creates his illustrations digitally combining hand painted textures and elements and putting it all together using his trusty iPad. When not illustrating, Dan also teaches art to children with special educational needs - and when he's not teaching, he can be found napping, trying to stay healthy and enjoying his time with family and friends.
