About me
“A good friend of mine described me as a child’s imagination trapped in an adult body.”
How Pinkbee Books began
I’m Gordon, the person behind Pinkbee Books. I grew up in an RAF family, surrounded by aircraft, but alongside that fascination I was always drawing, making and imagining things. That creative streak eventually led me into graphic design, photography and illustration.
After many years working creatively, including time living and working abroad, I returned to the UK and discovered self-publishing. It brought together so many things I enjoy — design, illustration, photography and the simple pleasure of turning an idea into a finished book.
From designer to publisher
My background in graphic design gave me the tools to create books from start to finish — from developing the idea and designing the pages to creating illustrations, preparing covers and producing the final files for publication.
Pinkbee Books began with simple notebooks and gradually grew into colouring books, activity books and storybooks. I still enjoy experimenting with new ideas, whether they begin with a photograph, a drawing, a character or simply something that makes me smile.
“I see the world in shapes, colour, light and shadows. Just add onions and I’m happy.”
