I also have a 128GB iPad Air that I use for all sorts of things, including rough sketches. This is the backup hub and stores my iTunes library, about 200,000 photos and an archive of all my work.īecause all my illustrations are digital and often gigabytes in size, I take back ups very seriously, so this machine has 10 Tb of storage across various external drives. My other Mac is a mid-2010 27” iMac, 2.93 Ghz i7 with 16GB RAM also running Mavericks. I also use an Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Trackpad (I’m a heavy user of Spaces/virtual desktops and the three finger swipe is hard-wired into my right hand). The main workhorse is a late 2012 Mac Mini, 2.6Ghz i7, 16GB RAM and a 1Tb Fusion Drive running OS X Mavericks, which is connected to a Wacom Cintiq 24HD (an articulated 24” monitor and graphics tablet combined – it’s like a digital drawing board and is the best thing I’ve ever bought) and a 27” Asus monitor. It’s called An Ambush of Tigers and is being published by Millbrook Press in the US. I’ve just completed a logo for a permaculture farm in Oregon and I’m currently putting the finishing touches on a book about the collective nouns for different animals. Our books have sold more than 1.3 million copies and won a tidy stack of awards.
I’m probably best known for my work with New York Times Bestselling author Sally Lloyd-Jones. Most of my recent work however has been for publishers in the US as my agent (Ronnie Herman) is based in New York. Recently I have also participated in a couple of exhibitions and signed prints of my work are now available in galleries in the UK (as well as on my shop). I have produced illustrations for over 40 children’s books and a few magazines, as well as some logos and album covers. I live in Cornwall, the little bit of the UK that sticks out into the Atlantic. I’m Jago and I have been illustrating children’s books for the last 11 years (basically I get paid to draw pictures…yep).
New setup interviews are posted every Monday follow us on RSS or Twitter to stay up to date. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better. Every week we try to post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad.
