Meet Tiago M., a children's book illustrator originally from a small town in Portugal.
Having spent some time in London, he's now back in his hometown, sharing his space with his dog Ziggy and three cats. Tiago's artistic journey traces its roots to his childhood fascination with animated movies and picture books, fostering a love for bringing characters to life through his drawings.
After working in photography, video, and marketing, Tiago rediscovered his passion for drawing during the pandemic. Now a full-time illustrator, his work bears the influence of vintage color palettes, giving it a classic touch. Tiago has a knack for drawing animals, making them a recurring theme in his illustrations.
