Ross Collins

Ross Collins is an illustrator who was born in 1972 in Glasgow. From a young age he always liked drawing and in 1994 he graduated from the Glasgow school of art with a first in illustration. In 1994 he won the MacMillan children’s book prize. He moved to London for two years where he experimented and refined his style. He then moved back to Glasgow where he now spends his time writing and illustrating children’s books.
As well as illustrating he also works doing character animation.
I like his work its very eye catching and I think there’s a sense of humor behind it which it what draws me into the images more. Even thought the titles of the books have a dark theme to it the colours on the cover are still bright and I like the juxtaposition of this. There is little pattern which keeps the eye on the main object.
