Super Freak, aka Dan Whitehouse, is a Birmingham based illustrator who draws you into his world of cartoon characters and positive vibes with humour and a primary colour palette to dazzle your senses. He takes inspiration from Pop Art and Mid Century comics, combining a crew of cheeky characters and graffiti-inspired compositions with bright bold colours to create work full of energy and optimism.

AJ Aster-Stubberfield’s energetic voice brings all these volcanic facts to life. When they are not narrating they are acting specifically in EastEnders.
