About me

Math was always my favorite subject. When the teacher's back was turned, 7-year-old little ol’ me would slowly, silently tear out the blank pages from the back of my math book — What's this richly textured paper doing in a math book anyway? — and dive into a world of doodling that sparked a lifelong passion for illustration, cartooning and imagination.

 

That was in Oregon. I now live in Utah with my wife and three kids, where I've been successful enough to buy my own paper and work right out in the open. I still like a good yellow No. 2, but I've added ink, watercolors, stylus, clay and wood to my pencil box. I'm a published children's book illustrator, toy designer, magazine illustrator, button maker, lunch bag daddy doodler (@artofgarth), sign maker and live caricaturist. And out of hundreds of caricatures, only one little girl has cried!

Thanks math!
