About the Author
John Williamson (Author) John Williamson is, without question, an Australian Icon. His entertainment career spans more than fifty years, boasting sales of over 5 million albums. His unofficial anthems, funny and tender ballads and tributes to unsung heroes have captured the spirit of the nation in song more than any other performer. He remains one of the most in-demand live performers in Australia. His fiftieth album, Honest People, was released in 2014 at the same time as his autobiography, and in 2018 he released his fifty-first, Butcherbird. Three songs from his popular JW's Family Album have been made into delightful, entertaining picture books for children, along with a beautiful new song and book written as an anthem to the sea. Andrea Innocent (Illustrator) Andrea Innocent is a professional character designer and illustrator. With a background in fashion and multimedia design, it wasn't until Innocent lived in Japan that she found her true creative love in illustration. In the past 15 years since, she has worked as an illustrator and character designer for various clients and publishers on a wide range of projects and ad campaigns. Innocent also regularly exhibits her work in art galleries and often speaks at conferences or workshops regarding her practice and working in the illustration industry. Innocent is a proud member of The Jacky Winter Group. She juggles parenthood alongside co-owning indie fashion brand Chiba Ghosts with her partner, lecturing on illustration, personal exhibitions and commercial illustration projects. When she's not drawing, you will find her gardening with her young son and snappy Corgis, Pickles McGerkin and Penny Sauce. Jonathan Chong (Illustrator) With a background in art and graphic design, Jonathan Chong is known for his work as an animator and designer. Based in Melbourne, Australia, Jonathan's expertise lies in design-driven, handcrafted techniques, including stop-motion animation, paper-craft, and traditional 2D animation. His work spans music videos, short films, commercials and illustrations. Jonathan has designed and illustrated stamps for Australia Post and directed music videos for renowned Australian musicians such as Dan Sultan, John Butler Trio, and John Williamson.
