About Jago
Some time ago, a boy called Jago arrived here on Earth with a burning ambition to be ....
Superman, Indiana Jones, or quite possibly King Arthur.
After a little hard work and an awful lot of drawing he settled on his fourth choice of career, illustrating children's books, something he reckons he could be quite good at one day.
He lives in a slightly damp wetsuit in Cornwall with his fantastically lovely wife Alex, beautiful daughter Lily Peach and small round son, Rudy.
I am represented by the wonderful Ronnie Herman at The Herman Agency in New York.
Please contact her (ronnie@hermanagencyinc.com) if you have any enquiries about working with me
Methods
I work almost entirely digitally, using a couple of Macs and an iPad in a secret blend of the finest textures, papers and digital paints. I could tell you how I make each picture, but then I'd have to kill you.
I enjoy working on children's books and am drawn to stories with a hint of eccentricity.

Blog postBecause I’m super busy with wholesale orders for shops and illustration work for publishers AND I’m in the process of moving home, it seemed like a great time to start a drawing challenge.
I’ve decided to try and draw 100 Trees… I’ve always liked trees, a good portion of my childhood was spent climbing around in them and I also have fond memories of drawing them in the sub-tropical gardens whilst at Falmouth University.
Here’s Tree 001 - drawn in Procreate (where else?)

Blog postWe recently had a wonderful family trip to Venice. Alex and I visited for our honeymoon, 15 years ago and have been back once since then. We thought it was time for our children to experience it too. I’ve always loved taking photographs and have used quite a wide array of cameras over the years. For the last few years though, I’ve been using a Leica Q alongside my iPhone XS, which I absolutely love. For me the Q has become the perfect camera, doing exactly what I need without giving me loads3 years ago Read more

Praise for Always Remember:
"Without mentioning a deity or religion, the text discusses how people remember those who have died and how their lives live on beyond them. Understated, unsentimental, and gently done."--Kirkus Reviews
"A sweet and poignant story with multiple layers for delving deeper."--School Library Journal
"This makes a comforting choice for families dealing with loss."--Booklist

the ocean has completely disappeared! Join him on a journey across the dry seabed to find out why,
meeting all sorts of ocean creatures along the way. Jack will soon discover that the ocean has plenty of reasons to go away…
The Day the Ocean Went Away is in support of Volvo Cars' global initiative to fight plastic
pollution and improve sustainability practices, both in their cars and in the wider world.
The story was created in partnership with Tom Franklin, a primary school teacher
and founder of 'City Kids Surfing', a not-for-profit social enterprise helping to connect
inner-city children with the ocean. By letting children experience the power of the ocean,
Tom aims to turn them into future ocean guardians. The hope is that this book will find its way
into the hands of similar children and help them understand the fragility of the ocean
and introduce them to the concept of sustainability.
All proceeds from the sale of the book will go towards helping more
inner-city kids experience the ocean for the first time.
