BIO
AJ Higgins is a comic-book artist and illustrator based in Cornwall. She spent her childhood with the Beano and Moomins, which are significant influences on her current work. Her cartoons highlight some of the challenging dilemmas of modern life, such as whether it is ever ok to move a sleeping cat! Her work can be seen on surfboards and beer cans, and knitted into scarves. Her use of bright colours and happy faces creates a deep sense of joy and playfulness, which is evident throughout her work.

BIO
Ben Javens is a UK-based artist who is the main illustrator and designer for Studio Anorak, and their children’s magazines, Anorak and dot. The guiding light for Javens and Studio Anorak is the importance of children having space to dream, create, play and laugh. Their work aims to give life to this. Javens’ illustrations are deceptively simple. He combines flat shapes with deeply textured colours to create images that one can get lost in. It is very easy to feel yourself knocking on the bears’ door alongside Goldilocks, or ducking behind the fence to see if they answer the door. This magical feeling transports the viewers elsewhere, which is the paradigm of great illustration.
