Find Your Way Under the Sea

Paul Boston studied illustration and sequential design at Brighton University. He lists his inspirations as 1950's children's books, antique maps and diagrams, 17th Century engravings, gothic art and Japanese prints, to name just a few. Paul creates all his artwork with his trusted ballpoint pen, which he then scans and brings to life on his computer. Paul's charming depictions of people and places have been commissioned for global advertising campaigns, publishing projects and editorial commissions. Words, and pictures: two little words that, together, mean a lot. A high-quality imprint for young children, words & pictures was started in 2012. The imprint encapsulates three main focuses: imagination – because opening a book should also open a child's own imagination to possibilities; innovation – because children should be encouraged to create, not imitate; and inspiration – because books should make children want more: more books, more information, more of life itself. words & pictures represents a powerful and positive opportunity to open children's minds to a world of discovery.
