John Lawrence is, in my eyes, a brilliant illustrator who ticks all of the boxes in terms of what I would look for when looking for inspiration. His prints (my favourites being the woodcut prints) are brightly coloured and very eye catching, giving the children who read his books brilliant additions to their inspiration.

Originally from Hastings, John also works as a teacher whilst still deciding to still pursue his main passion in life as a freelance illustrator and went on to illustrate in excess of 200 books.
Covering both general and children's illustration, John Lawrence's briefs have ranged from illustrating Shakespearean tales to the classic "Watership Down", quite a diverse portfolio.
It is clear to me how this man has made such a name for himself and even had one of his creations named New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year. One of my favourite children's illustrators whose creations really make me smile.
