Jamel has been an illustrator for over 20 years , and got his big break after landing a cover for the Observer while still at college.
He then went on to illustrate the Observer's regular lead comment page, having to have briefs faxed to the art college secretary.
Nowadays he has e-mail.
Here are a collection of illustrations specifically commissioned by educational and childrens book publishers.
The painterly approach aims to convey a sense of place and atmosphere, while still connecting with the books characters.
Most of the work is carried out in chalk pastel, photographed using a very high resolution camera,
and finally the artwork is turned in to a digital file for publishing.
