Illustrator of: Claire’s Hair
“I am a graphic artist – an illustrator, designer, animator, and photographer. I love the variety of bouncing between all of those, coming up with ideas and making stuff. I live in lovely Duluth, Minnesota, USA, at the western edge of Lake Superior. I make books, movies, cartoons, posters, and more.”
