Mike Jupp (b.1948) studied at the West Sussex College of Art and Design gaining a degree in Art and Animation, plus diplomas in Art and Advertising Design. Mike started his career in London working for an American design and marketing company. Later he freelanced as a copywriter, illustrator and cartoonist before traveling abroad. He traveled to the Netherlands before going on to California to work on two cartoon film series. Mike then worked in South Korea before returning to San Francisco and then back home to England in 1986. Mike has been Gibsons most widely sought puzzle designer and has seven different jigsaws in the Gibsons catalog. Mike’s style is quite different from the Gibsons more traditional puzzle but still has all the qualities associated with a decidedly english point of view. Mike’s “Where’s Waldo” look puzzles are jam packed with characters, creatures, settings and events based on themes as varied as “I Love Boats” to “I Love Car Boot Sales”. Mike usually, although certainly not always, has a new puzzle ready for the Gibsons puzzle catalog once a year. This year’s addition is entitled “I Love Great Britain”.
