Jamie Smith has worked as an illustrator for over 15 years. He says his first art-related memory was drawing a hamster to impress his new teacher. It was a fine hamster, and pencils and paper have been Jamie's constant companions ever since. He lives in Surrey, where he works in a studio at the bottom of the garden with a spaniel for company.
