Piers Hans-Peter Baker is a British cartoonist best known for his comic strip Ollie and Quentin, distributed internationally by King Features Syndicate, about the curious activities of a seagull (Ollie) and a lugworm (Quentin).
After he accidentally left his artwork on a train, he chose to leave college and instead seek employment.
In 2000, I decided to pursue my lifelong ambition of becoming a cartoonist and worked as an illustrator of children’s educational schoolbooks.
Six years later in January 2008, Ollie and Quentin was selected by King Features for international distribution.
He was a non-speaking 'extra' in the 1981 Oscar-winning British historical sports drama film Chariots of Fire, appearing in the iconic Trinity College 'Great Court Run' courtyard scene.
