His illustrations are noted for being instantly recognizable and usually depicting open-faced, innocent-looking children and animals. Cartwright was born in Bolton in the United Kingdom and studied at Rochdale College of Art before moving to London where he trained at Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design and then at the Royal College of Art.
