Jamie Smart was named Illustrator of the Year at the British Book Awards 2024, Best Laugh Out Loud Illustrator of the Year at the Lollies Awards 2024, and won Illustrated Children’s Book of the Year for Bunny vs Monkey: Multiverse Mix-Up. He studied art at college for four years, but it was just an excuse to practice drawing animals with goggly-eyes. His comic Fish-Head Steve was the first comic to be shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. Jamie has illustrated comics for The Sunday Times, the Dandy, and the Beano, and is also the creator of the Max and Chaffy comic series for younger readers, and the illustrated middle-grade Flember series.
