Welcome to the home of Mr Bear

A little about me...
I create stories which delight in the magic of the everyday and emphathise with the trickier parts of life, told through comforting tales, beautiful illustrations and heartwarming animations.
I'd love to stay in touch

Mr Bear's Day Out
I'm currently spending lots of time in a blacked out room creating a brand new animation
- the second story to be brought to life from The Tales Of Mr Bear! It's very exciting!

Lorna is much more than a talented illustrator. Intuitive, creative and creates magic in all she does. Some people have that special something and Lorna has it in spades.

I have a 21 month old pointing at your Badger and Hedgehog picture and naming all the things on it - especially Badger and the stars! It's very cute, thank you!

We've read each story twice this evening and she's asleep hugging them now.

Lorna has been extremely helpful and compassionate with my order and I am very confident that my mum will love her gift and cherish for years to come. Thank you so much for your beautiful work.

Beautiful, uplifting artwork that will turn any dull moments into warm, snuggly ones!

I am a CBT therapist and have given your books to some of my clients to help them. I think they are beautiful. Love never dies has helped some of my clients with grief and Hidden Monsters is great to teach people to take a different attitude to their thoughts by accepting them rather than getting into a battle with them.

Thank you Mr Briggs
It is funny how an idea and a creation made many miles away can land in your world and shape it, a beautiful reminder of how connected we are through stories and inspirations. How those characters can become so dear to you, your own experiences of The Snowman, Winnie the Pooh, The Wind In The Willows, Narnia, those magical places exist in your heart as much as they do in the mind of their creators

I am so grateful to everyone who boldly paved the way for others to speak up and live authentically without, or with less, fear or shame. I know there is still a long way to go, but I believe that we stand on the shoulders of giants, and this poem is a thank you to every one of them. And a thank you to you too for making the world a better place.
