Whilst studying architecture at university, Brendan Kearney discovered that drawing pictures for a living was a legitimate and fun career option, and so traded architecture for illustration as quickly as he could. Having now completed his degree in Illustration he specialises in children’s books and artwork. Brendan lives and works by the sea in the Southwest of England with his little dog, Crumble.
