Andre Amstutz (b. 1925) was born in Brighton and trained at the city’s School of Art (which eventually became my alma mater, the University of Brighton) during the early part of the 2nd World War. On graduating, he became an animator, graphic designer and illustrator.

He designed advertising posters for the likes of British Railways, British Travel Authority, GPO, Shell and BEA. In addition, he illustrated over 60 children’s books for authors such as Allan Ahlberg, Richard and Nicky Hales, Naomi Thornton and Rose Impey.
