Author Information:
Matt Carr was born in South London, the son of a grocer. After not doing that much at school (except being silly, playing football and drawing) he (barely) studied graphic design at Hastings and Croydon and then worked as, amongst other things, a signwriter and mural painter before becoming a founder member of London-based design agency Point Blank. When his first daughter was born, he left to spend more time at home and work for myself as a creative, designer and illustrator. As a sideline, in 2013, he wrote and illustrated the picture book The Tale Of Russell The Scared Crow which he published and promoted himself. The book was well received which led him to develop more book ideas in his spare time. His first published book Superbat was published in 2017 with Scholastic, followed by Spyder in 2018 and Rocketmole in 2019. His latest book Rhinocorn Rules! was published in February 2020 by Egmont. In his books, he tries to combine his love of bold, graphic illustration and ridiculous humour that hopefully appeals to readers young and old. He loves tea, football, radio and running slowly, usually in mud. He goes to Zumba every Friday, where, now old John has retired, is the last man standing. He lives in Sussex with his partner, three daughters and two cats. They all think he's an idiot, especially the cats.
