Lesley Barnes is an illustrator and animator based in Glasgow. She has collaborated with the V&A in London; the Scottish band Belle & Sebastian; and Glamour and Stylist magazines.
`[Barnes] uses bold, geometric shapes and flat colours, like spot colours, to create patterns and subsequent forms that are both decorative and descriptive. The effect is like a display of Brocks fireworks, rockets, sparklers, Catherine-wheels, roman fountains, that sparkle, dazzle and explode.' - Peter Allen, Varoom; `Jill and Lion is the follow-up tale to the equally stylish and retro-styled Jill and Dragon and is another wonderfully immersive tale of friendship, illustrated in Barnes' characteristic super-colourful 70s style.' - BookTrust; `Reinventing her signature style with an element of the retro circus, Barnes has created a rather stunning follow-up to the Dragon tale, detailed and ornate on every page . . . Blurring the boundaries between the reader and the yarn this is a book that really captures the essence of storytelling, loyal friendship and bravery.' - Keira Brown, The Fountain
