Jake grew up in North London, but escaped to the South coast to study illustration and decided to stay by the sea, swimming (almost) every morning!

Aside from his love of drawing, Jake is an avid reader, a meticulous collector of comics, a terrible, but improving pianist and a passionate player of games.

There are few things Jake enjoys as much as walking in the fresh air of Exmoor national park, but one of them is playing Texas Hold 'Em poker. He probably has an Ace and a King.
