The designer of multi-award-winning worldwide hit children's television show Bob the Builder, and the author/illustrator of numerous children's books (including the acclaimed Frankenstein's Cat), Curtis lives with his family in Cheshire, England, surrounded by a ridiculous collection of film and animation memorabilia. He grew up as a child of the 70s on a hearty diet that included Star Wars, Action Man, Flash Gordon, LEGO, Fighting Fantasy books and Harryhausen monster movies. A horror fan from this young age, pre-school television seemed like a natural career path.
