About this deal

When I joined Bright, I began illustrating educational projects and book covers, whilst slowly learning the ropes. As my skills improved, so did the frequency in jobs. I’ve now illustrated well over 50+ books (I’ve lost count!) and I’m now busier than ever! Bums in the jungle, bums in the town -- bums in the treetops, hanging upside down. Bums in the farmyard, bums in the park -- lots of teeny-tiny bums glowing in the dark! The T-rex was definitely one of my favourite animal bums to draw! Who doesn’t love a T-rex jiggling his bum? I’ve always enjoyed drawing dinosaurs since I was a child. I’m a big fan of the Baryonyx which was first discovered in 1983, the year after I was born (yes, I’m getting old!). I managed to draw a Baryonyx riding a skateboard later in 101 Bums ! Bums in the jungle, bums in the town. Bums in the treetops, hanging upside down. Bums in the farmyard, bums in the park. Lots of teeny-tiny bums, glowing in the dark!

101 Bums - Sam Harper - Google Books

Hachette asked me to design a few sample characters to pitch for a rhyming picture book, originally titled Jiggly Bums. The text written by Sam Harper was extremely funny and I knew I’d have a lot of fun illustrating all of the crazy characters! Kids (and adults like me) will absolutely love this book! It is silly, weird, but oh so much fun and it will make you giggle, laugh, and snort. I would recommend it to all. In this book we find out about all sorts of bums! From scary animals to sweet tiny animals. We will see lions shake their booties and see mice shake their tushes. There is a fun rhyme along with it that makes it all the more bouncy. Which is perfect because as the book get closer and closer to the end we are getting closer to a big DANCE finale! Yes! We will shake our butts with the beat~ Along with all the animals + more that we encountered on the way. It is a fun way to learn about animals and have a big laugh at the bums that are jiggling around.I’m also working on several exciting picture books with Egmont and Hachette, including a new series written by Peter Bently!

101 Bums By Sam Harper, Chris Jevons |The Works

I haven’t counted all the animals to make sure there are 101 bums in this book, but I will just believe it. Haha. Featuring an array of animal bums - from little to large, and everything in between - this brilliantly silly picture book is sure to get children giggling.The illustrations are perfect! I just love how highlighted the bottoms are. That sounds a bit weird, but if you read this book (or look at the cover for that matter) you will see what I mean. Featuring an array of animal bums - from little to large, and everything in between - this brilliantly silly picture book is sure to get children giggling. Just follow the bouncy read-aloud rhyme, then get ready to join in with the jiggly wiggly dance finale! When 101 Bums was given the go-ahead, my fab designer Katie sent me the text layouts. Hachette gave me a lot of creative freedom which was a lot of fun!

101 Bums by Sam Harper, Chris Jevons | Waterstones

I work from my home and I am surrounded by books and artwork. On my desk, I have my 27” iMac and Wacom Cintiq drawing tablet. I do the majority of my artwork and research here. I occasionally doodle in a sketchbook and I’ll take photos with my iPhone to use later for colour and reference. I also bought an iPad and Apple Pencil with the intention of drawing in coffee shops etc, but I seem to gravitate to drawing on my Wacom mostly. Featuring 101 different animal bums -- from little to large -- this laugh-out-loud silly picture book will get every child counting. Chris Jevons’ latest picture book is full of comical characters and cheeky charm. We caught up with Chris to find out about his artist journey and the brilliance behind his hilarious new book 101 Bums (written by Sam Harper, published by Hodder Children’s Books). Bright has made a massive difference to my career. Before I joined Bright, I had to juggle finding work, pitching for projects and invoicing - all the stuff illustrators are pretty rubbish at! What was your favourite bum to illustrate in the book? Where there any particularly hard bums to draw?

Featuring an array of animal bums – from little to large, and everything in between – this brilliantly silly picture book is sure to get children giggling. Hachette have also recently opened new office in Manchester and founded Children’s Books North on social media. It’s great to have a Northern hub for children’s book community and it’s exciting to see how things will develop! Find monster bums, ghost bums, vampire bums, witch bums, werewolf bums, skeleton bums and much, MUCH more in this fun-filled celebration of Halloween - with a spooktacular party finale!
