Introduction to the artist
Korky Paul is an award-winning illustrator of children's books. He was born and grew up in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1951 and now lives and works in Oxford, England. His work, characteristically executed with bright watercolour paint and pen and ink, is recognisable by an anarchic yet detailed style and for its "wild characterisation"
