Doggy Dance Off

Steve Smallman has taken up writing his own stories after illustrating children's books for more than 30 years. He also teaches illustration and mural-painting workshops in schools. When he's not working, Steve enjoys movies, television, gardening, and walking in the countryside.

Robert Starling started doodling characters when he was little, and just kind of kept going, filling paper, sketchbooks and school exercise books along the way. A former teacher, he now enjoys running workshops, talks and writing sessions. When he’s not drawing, he can be found doing daddy duties, trying to bake a cake that doesn’t look like a pancake, or popping the kettle on. He lives in Wiltshire with his wife and children.
