I'm Louise Forshaw aka Munkey Pants!

I'm an illustrator and author living in a small town in the North East just outside Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.

I work from home in my small studio being supervised by 3 noisy and very mischievous Jack Russell Terriers. Who are a constant distraction!

As a child I spent my time watching cartoons, creating my own characters, watching more cartoons and drawing comics to give to my favourite Teachers.

I graduated in 2008 with a BA (Hons) in Illustration and Animation from Newcastle College. After graduating, I spent a lot of time doing placements at various design companies and volunteering at a local Art Gallery. This gave me the opportunity to showcase my work alongside other artists such as Simon Donald, co-founder of the British comic magazine Viz.

I turned my attention to children's books and in 2012, I signed with Advocate Art.

To date, I've illustrated over 80 books. My young fiction series as author-illustrator, GRIM FALLS ACADEMY is set to publish in August 2023 with Maverick Books.
