About | joweaverillustration

Hello! I am an illustrator and picture book maker.

I work mostly by hand using willow charcoal and a putty rubber.

I live and work on the east coast of Scotland with my young family and an ever expanding brood of chickens. When not at my drawing board I can often be found wandering the wild and windy beaches near our home.

I was lucky enough to complete an MA in Children's Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art (ARU) in 2015 - a course I would highly recommend to any aspiring illustrator/storyteller. My books have since been translated into six languages for publishers including:

Hodder Children's Books (Hachette UK)

Oxford University Press (UK)

Walker Books (UK)

Kaleidoscope (France)

Orecchio Acerbo Editore (Italy)

Peach Tree (USA)

Eerdlings (USA)

Ars Edition (Germany)

Jei Publishing (Korea)
