Gary Boller lives in the beautiful South Downs National Park in Hampshire, UK. He trained in graphics gaining an HND and thereafter worked in design and advertising. Eventually though after engaging illustrators as an art director it occurred to him that he would really rather be the illustrator himself. A chance encounter led to an enrollement in the now defunct Portabello Cartoon School, which at that time was the only cartoon school in Europe. This lead on to a career in comics, book illustration, character design and animation for many and varied clients in design, advertising, editorial and entertainment.
