I went to this exhibition at Charnwood Museum while I was home for Christmas. It was an exhibition of the work of a local illustrator who I hadn't heard of before but when I researched him I realised he attended the same school as I did. The exhibition was called 'It started with a Cat' because of a picture of a cat his mum saved from when he was four, which he believes, is where his creative journey began.
Everitt-Stewart is probably most well known for illustrating the 'Spot the Dog' books by Eric Hill but he has produced a much wider range of work than this, working with various media. He also works with paper mechanics and was responsible for the mechanics of the Humphrey's Corner pop up books by Sally Hunter. He has also produced a range of greetings cards by himself.

I enjoyed looking at the wide variety of work Everitt-Stewart had produced in his life so far. I found it interesting that there was such a variety of work in this exhibition and I thought it was a very honest representation of the journey of his career.
'Since leaving college in 1986, I have had an exciting, interesting and varied career building a reputation for being versatile, professional, creative, and most important of all down to earth and easy to work with. This has helped me immensely and sponsored loyalty from a great number of people.'
