For as long as he can remember Si Smith has been an avid draw-er of stuff. Maybe it's in his genes - his father paints and exhibits, his grandfather was also an
artist and his brother is a graphic designer and cartoonist.
\par
He was born in Leicester in 1966, and has lived in various places since - Loughborough, Maidstone, Oxford and Thame. And he's currently resident in north Leeds with his wife Sue and their sons Eddie and Jonah.
\par
So far, during the course of his largely uneventful life Si has met Rolf Harris, been in a documentary, witnessed Gary Lineker's league debut, visited Scarborough, spent five happy years teaching in a primary school, ag
itated an alternative worship event into being, author-illustrated three books, been deservedly rebuked by a bishop, run a football team, won a rather fetching jacket in a competition on BBC radio 6music, bought a composter, created a church comedy event
and co-edited a comic. He's currently curating an exhibition and thinking about things for the Greenbelt Festival when he probably should be working.

He looks a bit like this.
