Helmut Kollars (born 1968 in Graz) is an Austrian illustrator and writer of children's books.
Kollars first set up a business as a freelance illustrator in Vienna. Stifled by laws in Austria that required artists to carry health insurance, Kollars moved his family to Cork, Ireland, in 1997.[1] He established a company there and carried on a successful career as an illustrator for publishing and advertising in Ireland, Belgium and the US. He eventually moved his business back to Europe and settled in Kassel, Germany.[2] Along with illustrations in books, his poster art is widely available.
