Robin Shaw is an award-winning animator and illustrator
known for his beautifully lyrical hand-drawn work.
As well as 15 years as a director of animated commercials he has worked closely with children's author and illustrator Raymond Briggs on a number of film projects. He was part of the directing team behind the hit Channel 4 TV special 'The Snowman and The Snowdog', and was the natural choice for art director on 'Ethel & Ernest', the feature-length adaptation of Briggs' graphic novel telling the story of his parents' lives together.
2016 saw his debut as a director on an animated feature film with 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt', adapted from the children's classic by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury.
In 2017 he designed a series of animated sequences for 'Paddington 2'.
His first picture book 'Me & My Dad' was published by Hodder Children's Books in May 2017 and he has recently illustrated a retelling of Briggs' 'The Snowman' by Michael Morpurgo.
With both picture book and film projects in the pipeline, his career now happily straddles the worlds of animation and illustration.
