Nigel Peake has published a series of unique books on subjects such as sheds, French billboards and old cameras, all of which feature his careful illustrations. He travels regularly, often by bicycle, making drawings as he goes, and his work has been shown internationally. When he is not travelling, he enjoys drawing while listening to cricket matches on the radio in Strangford, his native village in County Down, Ireland.
