Marc Pattenden is a self-taught illustrator from Lewes, East Sussex. As a child he drew endlessly, but it wasn’t until his son was born that he rediscovered his love of doodling--both as a way to entertain his son, and as a source of entertainment for himself! He spends much of his time drawing beautiful animals and colorful nature scenes, finding inspiration in gallery shows, museums, books, and funny things his 3 year old says. He finds the process of illustration a joyful experience and hopes to be drawing pictures for many years to come.
