Barry Falls grew up in rural Northern Ireland, where he spent a lot
of time drawing pictures and writing stories to go with them. When
he got to art college in Belfast, he discovered that he might be
able to do such a thing for a living, and was very excited. Since
then, he's been working as a commercial illustrator, and picking up
multiple awards for the work he does for such clients as The New
York Times, American Airlines, The Telegraph, Laurence King
Publishing and many more besides. His work has appeared in

World Now! was published in 2019.
