Alex Griffiths has been drawing pictures for as long as he can remember. In his childhood, he loved nothing more than surrounding himself with pens and paper, scribbling for hours to create sea monsters, flying creatures, monkeys, and ghosts on the back of old cereal boxes. Thirty years later, not too much has changed.

Now working as a children's illustrator and graphic designer in Toronto, Alex combines pen and ink with watercolor and digital textures to create his illustrations. Alex's debut author-illustrated picture book, The Bug Collector, was published in 2019 with Andersen Press.
