Although John Wallace studied theology at Cambridge University, he always loved drawing. While working at the British Museum, he sharpened his craft by drawing artifacts to scale. As a children's book illustrator, he is particularly inspired by "the gooniness" of young school children. John and his family divide their time between Brighton, England and Long Island, New York.
