Year 6 meeting Curtis Jobling at Harrogate Grammar

Curtis Jobling is the designer of worldwide hit children's television show 'Bob the Builder', and the author/illustrator of numerous children’s books. He lives in Cheshire, England, along with a menagerie of children and pets. Early work on ‘Wallace & Gromit’ and ‘Mars Attacks!’ led to Curtis picking up his crayons in 1997 to design the BAFTA winning ‘Bob’. His own animated series, ‘Frankenstein’s Cat’ and ‘Raa Raa the Noisy Lion’, can both be seen on the BBC.

Year 6 were fortunate enough to meet Curtis at Harrogate Grammar School. He explained all about the writing and illustrating process and how his work developed from in his head to on the page and screen.

The children were inspired by meeting a professional writer and illustrator and find out all about the industry.
