Hello! I’m John Deehan a.k.a Dooks - a Graphic Designer & Illustrator from North East England. I specialise in book cover design and children’s book illustrations.

I graduated from Northumbria University in 2022 with a First Class Honours Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design, and I’m currently studying an MA in Publishing with Hachette UK and New Writing North.

I live in Newcastle upon Tyne and spend most of my time designing, illustrating, reading books, feeding my goldfish and listening to new-wave alternate funk music from the 1980s.
