Hi, my name is Chris Riddell. I am an author, illustrator and political cartoonist for the observer newspaper. This channel will feature drawings, readings and up-coming projects. My books for children include The Edge Chronicles, the Ottoline series and the Goth Girl books. I was Uk children’s Laureate from 2015-17 and have a gold Blue Peter badge.
Hi Chris, I recently bought a sketch of yours from a charity shop. I was unable to find its origins. It was a depiction of John Major with the text " The Little Weed" (Majors Handbaggium) Be most grateful if you could kindly tell me the background behind it. Many thanks and keep up the great work
It's so nice to see some content on youtube again. It is so much more immersive than the content on other social media, because of the longer format and the possibility to watch distraction free in fullscreen mode.

Beautiful sky. Big fan of your work sir, especially your art in the Edge Chronicles, it really made the book come to life. I hope to be as great as you in Art someday
I love your drawings and illustrations. I’m from India and I’m in my early teens and attempting to publish a book. Unfortunately, I can’t draw my characters the way I want. Could you please make a course on your RU-vid channel for that?
