'This book is a thing of rare beauty' - David Walliams . . . A stunning showcase of our planet's wildlife from one of Britain's best natural history illustrators
Ben Rothery is a detail-obsessed illustrator from Norwich, via Cape
Town. He combines multiple processes to create intricate and
delicate illustrations and repeating patterns, full of fine detail
and vibrant colour.
Much of Ben's work is inspired or informed by his love of nature -
he grew up wanting variously to be a shark, dinosaur or David
Attenborough crossed with Indiana Jones, but settled upon
illustration as a compromise that allowed him to bring those
fantasies to life on paper. In 2021 he won the prestigious Silver
Pencil Award for Hidden Planet, and his work is published
throughout the world.
Ben works from a small but perfectly formed studio, which he shares
with an unnecessarily large collection of very sharp pencils.
