Over 20 years experience in advertising, design and children's publishing.

Tightly rendered site maps, loosely exaggerated cartoon maps, cool mascots for logo treatments, fun cartoons for editorial purposes, wacky characters for kids books. Can also draw stick figures but needs a t-square to draw a straight line.

While he has tried many styles, Gary enjoys the more silly, wacky styles that are prominent in his children's work. After giving a copy of one of his books to a friend's 8-year-old daughter, she surprised him with a hand-drawn thank-you note that included the statement, "I like the way you draw stuff."

In addition to illustrating for children, Gary creates maps and drawings for golf resorts and upscale developments. He also designs skateboards, waveboards, snowboards, boogieboards, surfboards, as well as still drawing storyboards. He works out of his home studio in Tempe, Arizona.
