About Me

 

My name is Richard Cookson. I'm a writer and illustrator currently working in London.

I was born in 1980 and grew up in Pembrokeshire in Wales. I graduated from Bournemouth University with a 2.1 BA(Hons) in New Media Production in 2002, and in 2003 I moved to London. I currently work at the BBC while writing and drawing my own original graphic novel in my spare time.
