Ben Cort is an award-winning illustrator whose books have been translated into over thirty languages and have sold millions of copies around the world.

He is the illustrator of the phenomenally popular Underpants series written by Claire Freedman. The books feature pants loving aliens, dinosaurs, pirates, monsters and even Father Christmas! Three animations for SKY TV have been produced by Tiger Aspect, one of which was BAFTA nominated and the Aliens starred in their very own theatre show. Another of Ben and Claire’s picture books, Monstersaurus, was also turned into a successful stage show which toured the UK.

As a lifelong Beatles fan, Ben was thrilled to be commissioned to illustrate Ringo Starr’s Octopus’s Garden as a children’s picture book.

Ben has appeared at many of the UK’s literary festivals including Hay, Edinburgh, and Bath and illustrated the World Book Day title Everyone Loves Underpants.
