Maurice Pledger

You can find my dad’s official website here…www.mauricepledger.com

My dad, Maurice Pledger, has been painting wildlife since he was a kid. He has illustrated and written countless children’s books that have sold over 10 million copies worldwide. He has also recently written 2 fishing books which you’ll see below. I’ve made this page to show off some of his new work and some of his older pieces. I’m incredibly proud, if it wasn’t for him none of my mad stuff would exist. Hope you like these.
