Our ninth episode focuses on all things illustration as we chat to Chris Riddell. Chris is a prolific writer and illustrator for both adults and children who has won the Kate Greenaway Medal, worked as the Waterstones Children’s Laureate and created political cartoons for the Observer. We chat to Chris about his early inspiration and his career, working with writers and creating work for yourself and the joys of live illustration.
