Ross Collins's primary 1 teacher, Mrs Spears, told his parents that he should go to art school. 13 years went by until he was finally 'old enough' to get into the Glasgow School of Art. Can you believe that? - 13
years. On graduating he won the Macmillan Prize for his first picture book . Since then, he's illustrated over 100 books for children and written a few of them too . Several of them have won enormous glittering awards which he keeps in a box in Latvia.
When he's not creating children's books he enjoys working on character development for animation studios like Laika and Disney. He also likes walking in the Scottish glens with his dog Hugo, who is an idiot, and his partner Jacqui and son Ridley, who are not.
