I\u2019m a Shorewood, IL based illustrator and picture book author. My artwork is bold and imaginative, featuring whimsical animal pairings, images of faraway lands and fantasy playgrounds, or just beautiful compositions of color and shape. I\u2019m am inspired by old memories from childhood along with new experiences with my two young children.<\/p>\n<p>I drew a lot as a child but grew up to pursue other things, like a degree in computer engineering. After submitting several T-shirt designs to Threadless.com however, I got hooked on art and illustration. My artwork has been selected for print at Threadless.com, has been featured on products at the GAP, Papyrus, on the front page of Society6.com, FAB.com along with a number of other brick and mortar and internet stores.<\/p>\n<p>I live with my family south of Chicago, which i believe is the best city in the world. (Just ask me about the hotdogs!) I spend my spare time running and reading (but not at the same time).<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"color: #51bbb0;\">Books I&#8217;ve Illustrated<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Double-Take-New-Look-Opposites\/dp\/0763672912\">Double Take!<\/a> written by Susan Hood<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Black-Belt-Bunny-Jacky-Davis\/dp\/0525429026\"><br \/>\nBlack Belt Bunny<\/a> by Jackie Davis.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Everything-You-Picture-Elizabeth-McPike\/dp\/0374301417\">Everything You<\/a> by Elizabeth McPike<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Flo-Picture-Book-Kyo-Maclear\/dp\/0374305269\">Flo<\/a> by Kyo Maclear<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Haunted-Halloween-Sue-Fliess\/dp\/1338045334\">Haunted Halloween<\/a> by Sue Fliess<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Christmas-Cheer-Sue-Fliess\/dp\/1338349589\">Christmas Cheer<\/a> by Sue Fliess<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Diamond-Boy-Creation-Diamonds-Tracy\/dp\/0062659030\">The Diamond and the Boy<\/a> by Hannah Holt<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Were-Going-Treasure-Kelly-DiPucchio\/dp\/0374306419\">We&#8217;re Going on a Treasure Hunt <\/a> by Kelly DiPucchio<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Two-Brothers-Tail-Richard-Morris\/dp\/1524740853\">Two Brothers, One Tail<\/a> by Richard T.
