Rob Scotton

Rob Scotton is a prolific artist and illustrator. He studied at Leicester Polytechnic and now lives in Rutland with his wife, Liz, who is also an artist. Rob only had to look out of his studio window to find the inspiration for ‘Russell the Sheep’, his debut picture book. The rolling countryside surrounding his home is brimming with sheep, other wildlife, sheep, rural beauty and more sheep!

His first picture book, ‘Russell the Sheep’, was an instant commercial success and was short-listed for the Booktrust Early Years Awards in 2004.
