Tom Tinn-Disbury studied animation at university, where he realised that the best part of the process was writing stories and drawing characters and not necessarily making them move! After a brief foray into film editing and broadcast TV, Tom decided to pursue a career in picture book making. His first picture book, The Caveman Next Door was published in 2019 and was Runner Up in the Cambridge ‘Read it Again’ awards. Tom uses a mix of pens, pencils, paint and Photoshop to create his art and coffee and sandwiches to write his stories. Tom lives and works in Rugby, UK.
