Paul is an all-round creative. An authority on imagination, originality and, especially, play. It could be said, in fact, that he has cornered the market in play as the driving energy behind all imaginative endeavours. Following decades in advertising, design, feature films, music and animation, he saw how much these creative businesses rely on the energies of play, and its games, so he set up a consultancy / research project to explore all aspects of it. After several years developing live interactions in museums, public spaces and businesses, he delved even further, studying the evolution and philosophy of our drive to play, as well as interviewing a raft of fascinating creators from all around the world. The result is his first book - ‘Power of Play: how play and its games shape life’. Outside the bubble of book writing and illustrating, he has an animation series in development in Los Angeles, and sporadically takes up drumming duties in an ‘occasional band’ that has played in various dives including MoMA in New York, Milan Design Week, and the Pompidou Centre in Paris. Paul lives with his family on the UK’s Jurassic Coast.
