He taught at the Royal College of Art for twenty years and for several years was head of the Illustration Department. He has written and illustrated books of his own, and has collaborated with writers such as Michael Rosen, Russell Hoban and John Yeoman. He is probably best known for his having illustrated all the books for children by Roald Dahl. He has also illustrated classic works such as A Christmas Carol, Don Quixote, and Candide. He has also produced many pictures for hospitals and other public spaces. In 2013 he was knighted forhis services to illustrators, and in 2014 appointed a Chevalier of the Legion d'Honneur.
