Roland Garrigue

Roland Garrigue is a prolific children's book illustrator from Paris, France. He seeks inspiration from the work of Tomi Ungerer, Colin Hawkins, and Quentin Blake. He attended art school in Strasbourg. He loves to draw fantastic universes and surreal situations, populating his books with characters from all walks of life – monsters, vampires, witches, pirates, aliens, children, and any other strange creatures he dreams up. Roland loves to travel and explore and he hopes his stories can transport his readers too. His illustrations may feature absurd scenarios and bizarre creatures, but at its heart, his work expresses truths and experiences about the world we all live in.
