Henry is an Artist by Justin Worsley

 Henry is a dedicated artist, a master sculptor, and . . . a dog. Each day on his walks to the park, he leaves his new "art" for people to admire. But his sculptures keep getting tossed in the garbage without even being noticed! That is until, one day, when someone quite unexpected falls in love with his work and at last Henry has his moment to shine.

This tongue-in-cheek and truly unique picture book about creativity, perseverence, and, well, poop, is a hilarious ode to undiscovered artists everywhere.

He currently works from his home studio on the edge of the South Downs in Lewes, East Sussex.

Justin graduated in 2023 with a distinction from the MA Children’s Book Illustration course at Anglia Ruskin University. His primary medium of choice is paint and he gets excited by the sometimes unexpected results that fluid materials produce. He strives for simplicity in his image making, combining this with texture and energy through mark making. His playful style is influenced by his experience of toy design and a love of creating characters, both human and animal.

Justin was the winner of the Sebastian Walker Award 2023 and the Batsford Prize for children’s illustration 2022.
