Luke Wade (a.k.a. lu quade) drew and painted a lot as a kid, but stopped at the beginning of high-school to concentrate on getting beaten up and learning to play the guitar.
Many years passed... four years ago his daughter Rose arrived. Largely as an attempt to kick a video gaming habit, and engage in a more productive/creative activity that he could share with Rose, he began to draw again. Unsurprisingly, his drawing hadn't grown up with him. “Yay!“ he said, in his distinctive monotone, “I draw like a thirteen year old!!!“ He kept drawing anyway...
So far this has led to the creation of hundreds of owls. Owls dressed as monsters, monsters dressed as owls, and so forth (some of which you might see as pasteups, stickers and magnets hidden around Newcastle).
He is currently trying to learn to make books for kids by making books for kids. “The Original Aeronauts“ is his first attempt. The words and illustrations were nearly all written and drawn at suspension espresso in Hamilton where he spends a LOT of time drawing with Rose, drinking coffee and talking to friends.
At first he felt uncomfortable referring to himself in the third person, but found it a little too enjoyable towards the end. HI!!!
