Here's a chance to get to know Redwall illustrator, Gary Chalk, a little better.

Born in 1952, Gary Chalk grew up in rural Hertfordshire, England. Through an interest in history, he began playing war games at the age of fifteen -- a hobby he still enjoys today. When he first graduated from college with a Bachelor of Arts in design, Gary spent three years training in a studio before becoming a teacher in art and design.

Gary was working as a children's book illustrator when he became involved in adventure gaming, an interest which eventually led to the creation of several successful games including Cry Havoc, Starship Captain and Battlecars (co-designed with Ian Livingstone). He is also known for his work on the very successful game, Talisman.

Gary drew the illustrations in Redwall , Mossflower, Mattimeo, Mariel of Redwall, Salamandastron, and Martin the Warrior. He also illustrated the Lone Wolf series by Joe Dever.
