Dywedodd Aneirin: “Barddoniaeth, darlledu ac ieithoedd – tri maes lle rwyf yn fy elfen, a gorau oll os oes modd cyfuno’r tri! Mae ysgrifennu a meddwl am farddoniaeth yn rhan hanfodol o fy mywyd bob dydd ac rwy’n parhau i chwilio am gyfleoedd ar gyfer cydweithio, am brofiadau newydd a chyfle i ehangu fy ngorwelion.”

After working for a decade as a TV presenter, Aneirin returned to academia to undertake a PhD in Welsh creative writing at Swansea university, and has now turned his talents to writing children’s books.
Aneirin says “Poetry, broadcasting and languages, three fields where I am in my element. Even better if it’s possible to combine all three! Writing and thinking about poetry is an essential part of my daily life and I continue to look for opportunities for collaboration, for new experiences and to broaden my horizons.”

Matt Abbott
Mae Matt Abbott wedi bod yn dylunio drwy gydol ei fywyd, ers iddo ddechrau clwb cartwnau yn yr ysgol. Byddai ef a’i ffrindiau yn ymgynnull yn y llyfrgell amser cinio (mor cŵl!) ac yn tynnu lluniau o’u hoff gymeriadau cartŵn. Treuliodd ei blentyndod yn pori drwy gomics Beano a Dandy, SuperTed a Danger Mouse.
Gan neidio ymlaen 30 mlynedd, cafodd Matt radd mewn gwleidyddiaeth a gyrfa fel newyddiadurwr, gan gefnu ar ddylunio a chreu cymeriadau. Ond aildaniwyd ei ddiddordeb yn y maes wrth gael plant, ac mae’r rhan fwyaf o’i waith celf yn cael ei hysbrydoli ganddyn nhw – eu grymuso drwy wneud iddyn nhw wenu a chwerthin. Mae celf Matt hefyd yn eu hysbrydoli nhw i dynnu lluniau, sy’n ei ysbrydoli ef yn ei dro. Mae Matt wrth ei fodd yn creu cymeriadau bywiog, llawn emosiwn. Mae manylion yn bwysig iddo, gan gymryd ysbrydoliaeth o hanes.
Matt Abbott has been drawing all his life ever since he started a cartoon club in school. He and his friends would get together in the library at lunch (very cool!) and draw their favourite cartoon characters. Matt grew up on the Beano and Dandy comics, SuperTed and Danger Mouse.
Flash forward 30 years, a degree in politics and a career as a journalist took Matt away from his love of drawing and characters. But having kids brought it all back. Most of his art is inspired by them – to make them smile and laugh; to empower them. It also inspires them to draw, which in turn inspires him right back.
Matt loves creating bursting-with-emotion, jump-off-the-page characters, obsessing about details, and taking inspiration from history.
