Chris Dickason grew up somewhere between the canals of south-west France, the Swiss mountains and England's Essex estuary. His work has been described as charming and visually striking with a sharp graphic style. His irreverent sense of humour was born from years as both a mild mannered doodler and angry burger flipper, taking inspiration as much from Henri Matisse as he does The Muppets.
