His work is influenced by illustrators like David McKee, Jill McDonald, and Maurice Sendak, whose books he read as a little person. Anjan is also unhealthily obsessed with a few contemporary illustrators such as Benjamin Chaud, Sara Ogilvie, and Neal Layton. Since becoming a full-time illustrator, he's created illustration for children's books, animation, and advertising. Anjan works from a little studio in his house in Sheffield, England, where he lives with his wife and two kids.","brand":"Stuart Gibbs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49615016132836,"sku":"9781534455436","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/9781534455436.jpg?v=1786262212","url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/products\/spy-school-the-graphic-novel-stuart-gibbs-hardcover","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
