Early life
[edit]Kim Hunter Gamble was born in Sydney on 13 July 1952.[2] Whilst initially working as a teacher and in other jobs, he eventually became a children's illustrator later in life.
Career
[edit]Gamble trained as a teacher and worked in a variety of occupations.[3][4]
Gamble was a self-taught artist.[3] Beginning to illustrate stories for children at the age of 24, his first assignment in 1976 was for The Land Behind the World[5] by Anne Spencer Parry and three sequels. In 1989,[6] he illustrated for the School Magazine,[2] and he continued illustrating for the magazine for many years.[6][7][4] Gamble met author Anna Fienberg, with whom he produced more than 20 books, at the School Magazine where she was the editor.[6][3]
He illustrated The Magnificent Nose and Other Marvels by Anna Fienberg, published in 1991.[3] His collaborations with Fienberg included award winning The Magnificent Nose and Other Marvels,[2] the Tashi series and Tashi picture books,[2] the Minton series and Joseph. Joseph was shortlisted for the 2002 CBCA Picture Book of the Year Award.[7] The Tashi series of books were translated into more than 20 languages and adapted for television.[3]
He worked with many authors and illustrated over seventy books in his career.[3][4] Some of Gamble's artwork for The Hottest Boy Who Ever Lived by Anna Fienberg is held in the National Centre for Australian Children's Literature (formerly the Lu Rees Archives).[8][9]
