About the Author

Brentos is an illustrator, painter and designer based in Sydney. He finds joy in watching birds and wildlife play and translating their unique quirks through his pastel colours and linework. The natural world, humour, surf culture and long summers also play a big influence on Brentos's illustrations, which aim to capture a playful spirit while shining a light on the importance of loving and protecting Australia's native wildlife.
