Week 27 - Jason Ruddy

It's illustrator 27, only 3 more to go and the book will be complete! This week we are at the home of writer/illustrator Jason Ruddy.

Jason graduated in 2006 with a degree in Animation. Since then he has worked in the digital industry and done the odd bit of illustrating, animating and designing for a number of things. In 2010 he started up a collaborative project called Monster Riot with his wife Catherine McDaid. Through Monster Riot he has painted a 5ft Gromit for Gromit Unleashed, illustrated greetings card ranges and his designs have adorned everything from t-shirts to biscuit tins. He works from his home studio in Buckinghamshire and is currently working on his first authored books. Check out Jason's week with the book below...

If you want to see more of Jason's work you can do by visiting his website and if you want to follow his tweets you can follow him @jasonruddy. Time for the book to make a move again, this time its off to Sheffield to see the lovely Lydia Monks. See you soon!

Week 14 - Catherine McDaid

So the book survived its second trip over the Irish sea and made its way to Buckinghamshire to be painted and drawn in by Catherine McDaid.

Catherine graduated in 2006 with a degree in illustration. She is the other half of a collective duo called Monster Riot, in which she produces plush toys and helps art direct. 

Catherine lives in Buckinghamshire with her husband and two house rabbits. She is currently working on her first picture book which will probably include a couple of mischievous bunnies. 

To see more of Catherine's work visit her blog and to get up to the minute updates you can also follow her on twitter. Next the book travels to Surrey to be entertained by the epic Mike Byrne.
