Christian Birmingham graduated from Exeter College of Art and Design in 1991. He won his first contract almost immediately on leaving college. He was soon commissioned for a book that has now sold in excess of 1.5 million copies - The Night Before Christmas. The immediacy of chalk and pencil suits his style and offers wonderful luminosity to his works.Books illustrated include: A Christmas Carol, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Little Farmer Joe, Oliver Twist, Sleeping Beauty, The Night Before Christmas, Wenceslas and The Snow Queen.
Christian had a successful exhibition of the Snow Queen at the Air Gallery, London in December 2007. It is planned that his next book will be exhibited in December 2009.
