About Mike Byrne

Mike Byrne grew up on the Wirral near Liverpool, England, before moving to Wales to study Illustration at Glyndwr University. He began his career as a designer for a greetings card company and then became a studio manager for a licensed stationery designer before leaving to fulfil his dream of illustrating children's books. Mike now lives in the countryside with his wife, cat and his two baby sons where he spends his days doodling and illustrating children's books fuelled only by tea and biscuits.

Anyone else absolutely in love with the stunning @BBCOne & @HBO #HisDarkMaterials adaptation!? I'm so excited about Lyra finally getting to the North and meeting Lee Scoresby ( @Lin_Manuel ) & Lorek Byrnison. Just for fun, I did my own version of the #northernlights book cover. pic.twitter.com/QAG3URHBR9
