About
I grew up in Rhode Island and graduated from Ponaganset High school in 1998. From there I moved to Boston where I graduated from The Art Institute of Boston in 2002. Stayed out there until 2004. Now I find myself living in Ridgefield, CT which is quite convenient to New York.
A few years ago I had my first manuscript accepted by a publisher. The book Honey Badgers was formally released in April of 2007. I have just finished the illustrations for my second book which will be a Fall 2008 release–now just working out the initial rough details on what will most likely be the text for my third.
My life is becoming a series of stories. I turn most things into a story and I am constantly trying to find or stumbling upon an idea. I think my goal has become to just continue on in this field making the literature I want to make and the pictures I want to paint. We’ll see where it all goes in the years to come….hopefully I don’t run out of ideas one day.
This(Honey Badgers) is my first book, published by Front Street Books. I enjoyed making it and I hope to be able to make many more while I am on this planet. I paint and write all day and all night–I am quite dedicated to my craft. I find sleep to be less important than most do, but I should be getting to it soon. I’m not sure what else to say about myself. Thanks for reading.

I am waiting with no small amount of impatience for your second book. Here at the Long Branch Public Library children’s room I have developed a newfound respect, some would say obsession, for honey badgers. Your work is the reason I want to come to work each day. Fall 2008 can’t come quickly enough. Thank you, thank you. Tara Sullivan

I just had the pleasure of perusing all your sketches, paintings, red birds and the like. And have to say, you are incredibly talented.
” My life is becoming a series of stories”. I think….You just may see life a bit differently than most people, and how privileged we all are to catch a glimpse of the world thru your eyes.
Keep imagining. And get some sleep!!!

Just want to say that your illustrations for “The Bedtime Train” bring me and my young friends endless pleasure. The complexity of pictorial story gives us something new to consider every time we open the book. I’ve worked with dozens of illustrators and few bring such invention and richness to a text.
Thank you, Jamison. Your work is well loved. Joy.
