Biography
James O’Brien (also known as Potato Printer) is an artist, illustrator, and comedy writer who uses potatoes (Maris Pipers & King Ted’s) to create a fun world of adorable animals who are trying their best at life.
James has worked with brands like H&M, IKEA, and Woodmansterne Greeting Cards to create very silly things for very silly people. In August 2025, Boxer Books will be publishing James’ debut children’s picture book – Big Book of Feelings.
Big Book of Feelings
Get ready for a kaleidoscope of big, bright, bold colours, as James O’Brien’s distinctive potato-printed illustrations and funny quips help children navigate a range of feelings and emotions‚ from fabulous and joyful to bored and vain.
These great characters explore feelings with humour and pathos, building self-awareness and knowledge of the world. Each feeling is explored through the eyes of a particular animal, providing much scope for discussion between caregiver and child.
