Hello, how are you? my name is Oliver Jeffers and I make art for a living. That includes painting, illustrating, writing, making things, a bit of this and a bit of that.

I currently live in Belfast, Northern Ireland. If you were visiting here I would take you on Derek’s boat tour. He takes people out around the docks and talks about various parts of Belfast’s history, including showing where the Titanic was built, and the giant cranes Samson and Goliath, that are still there. Then we’d go to John Hewitt for a decent pint of Guinness.

I use moleskin notebooks. Many, many of them. I like them because they have rounded corners so I can’t hurt myself with sharp edges, and the also have an elastic that holds everything in, and a secret pocket where I put important things and forget about them forever.
