About Dicky Smiles

Welcome to the bit that no one wants to actually write.

Hi, I am Arron.

I create the world of Dicky Smiles from a grand stately home fashioned into a caravan, it rocks in the wind and sometimes guests hit their heads on the little compost pot that hangs above the seat. I know it’s annoying but I really don’t like cluttering up the sideboard.

I am a father to 3 kids, they make me appreciate being bigger and more powerful than them and generally make life a much better experience. They hunt for food to sustain me, whilst I spend my time bringing Dicky Smiles to life. In time, they hope I might be a great success and they can start telling people I’m their Dad.

All the characters come from my brain and all of the illustrations are drawn by me,  normally whilst hidden at home like a goblin. I print all the clothes myself and get my embroidery done up the road at a small family run business, the owners of which popped down my shop once to show support. Which was nice.
