Pete began his creative career in the mid-90s, moving to London to work as a character and background designer in the animation industry. He designed advertising campaigns for US television, before co-creating a darkly humorous short animated film which won 16 animation awards around the world.
He began illustrating children's books in 2008, collaborating with Marcus Sedgwick on the Blue Peter award-winning Elf Girl and Raven Boy, and with Guy Bass on Stitch Head, and more recently Skeleton Keys. He has now illustrated over 70 children’s books.
