Tom Knight (@tomknightillustration) grew up on Mersea Island on the Essex coast, where he returned to live after having children of his own. Having grown up on a small farm, Tom spent most of his time using his imagination to create new worlds from the hedgerows and haystacks. After an enjoyable stint as a graphic designer, Tom is now proud to be using his imagination as a full time career. Drawing on a long and abiding love of imagery from childrens literature, Tom has worked for a diverse range of publishers, including Little Tiger Press, Templar, Simon and Schuster, Scholastic and Macmillan. He has also turned his hand to authoring his own titles and is the author and illustrator for the ‘Good Knight, Bad Knight’ books and ‘Jimmy Finnigan’s Wild Wood Band’. He does all this from a poorly temperature-controlled studio in the garden, where he is constantly distracted by the greedy birds that hang out by the feeder outside his window.

Bells ring out a code / Time to hit the road / Firefighters answering the call! In eighteen poems and a collection of fun facts, firefighters put on their helmets, pull on their boots, and race through the city! With their hoses, axes, and bright red blazes, they’re ready to battle blazes. The daughter of a firefighter, Mary E. Cronin (@maryecronin) writes with great love and respect as she shares behind-the-scenes details, along with drama and pathos. Aaron Marin (@aaronmarin_illustrator) brings fresh perspective and childlike imagination to every page, while underscoring the dignity and bravery of a noble profession.

Jack Viant (@jiantillustration) is an Illustrator and Designer from Plymouth, UK. He is inspired by cartoons, picture books, packaging, toys and advertising campaigns aimed at children. As a 90’s kid, Jack grew up with angular cartoons, absurd characters, and even more ridiculous storylines so he tries to bring an element of this into his work. He likes to sketch with a good old fashioned mechanical pencil or uni-ball pen, and crafts his images digitally using a mixture of software, machines and coffee. Jack wants to connect with adults and children through his work, teaching valuable lessons, and bringing joy where possible by channeling the ridiculous. Illustrations by Jack Viant (@jiantillustration) from I Am Going To Jump This Log, written by Stephanie Stansbie (@stephstansbie) and published by Little Tiger (@littletigerbooks). Jack is represented by @sus.penny, take a look at his full portfolio on the Bright website. Link in our bio!

He has worked as a freelance illustrator for a number or years and works in a variety of media, including traditional painting techniques combined with digital.
