Martin Handford spent much of his childhood drawing and his earliest influences were cinema epics and playing with toy soldiers. After art college, he began working as a freelance illustrator specialising in drawing crowd scenes for numerous clients. Martin now gathers his inspiration from a huge variety of sources: films, visiting museums and art galleries, reading comics and books, and collecting ephemera and trivia. He is fascinated by crowds, and is attracted to their vibes, patterns and details – especially humour: “I love their movement and energy.” Gradually, from all this meticulous research, the inspiration for a picture emerges, which Martin embellishes with his own ideas to create astonishing scenes. Each picture takes Martin many months to draw. “As I work my way through a picture, I add Wally when I come to what I feel is a good place to hide him,” he explains.

Young fans of Where’s Wally? will enjoy this latest colouring book of destinations including an art gallery, restaurant, parade, doggy day care and even a Jurassic scene. With detailed drawings in black and white, and Wally hidden on the page, there is the opportunity for the young reader to make each double page their own. There are items to search for and also black and white stickers to colour in.
