Terry Whidborne has worked in the advertising industry for many years, and has been recognized as one of Brisbane's most senior award winning Art Directors. However, as Terry's family grew, so did his interest in illustration. He began developing his style for clients such as Vogue, Virgin Blue and many of London's top ad agencies, before deciding that what he really wanted to do was concentrate on books, film and 3D animation. Terry's first foray into books is a trilogy he co-created with
Nick Earls entitled
Word Hunters which UQP will publish in 2013 and beyond. He lives in Brisbane with his wife and two children.
