David Metzenthen is a Melbourne boy. He was an advertising
copywriter before turning to fiction, and a builder's labourer to
support his first twenty years as a writer for young people. David
is a learner surfer, a keen fly fisherman, and a tree hugger from
way back. He tries to write stories that will explain and entertain
and be worthy of the reader's time. The natural world is where he
likes to spend time, and he is a supporter of various environmental
foundations. He hopes to write the perfect book, knows it will
never happen, but works in hope... David is married to Fiona and
has two children, a dog, and a couple of parrots. He has travelled
overseas but is inspired by this country and hopes always to feel
that way.
Mairead Murphy has always loved to draw. Coming from a background
in Interior Architecture, she brings a keen eye for composition and
an appreciation of texture to her work across a variety of
illustrated projects, from illustrated artworks to wallpaper to
children's clothing. Developing and producing images or characters
with their own personality is something that Mairead always finds
surprising and exciting - like meeting someone for the first time.
Mairead's style uses the elasticity and softness of detailed pencil
work to capture personality and movement in her characters, while
digital elements bring colour and texture.
