Priscilla Burris sketches and doodles every chance she gets. Favorite tools are black micron ink pens, pencils, and her trusty stylus.
As an artist, illustrator, writer and designer, she delights in creating words and images that are full of expression and joy. Priscilla sketches in sunny Southern California, unless she's traveling ~ and then she often sketches up in the air, while in flight.

Steve Bjorkman was born
in the car on the way to Murphy Memorial Hospital in Whittier, CA, and has
diligently tried to not miss a deadline ever since. There isn’t a time he hasn't been doodling and experimenting with various forms of art. Steve started
with scraps of paper, moved on to church bulletins, then homework, spilling
India ink on the wool carpet along the way. His sixth grade teacher told him,
“Quit drawing in class, Stevie, that’ll never get you anywhere.”
Geographically, she was right, Steve still lives in Southern California. However, he's been fortunate enough to illustrate for greeting cards, consumer products,
ads, magazine articles and am closing in on one hundred children’s picture
books.
Happily
married to the same patient gal for the last 30+ years and has the gray hair
to prove they’ve raised three kids.
Nina Victor Crittenden
loves tea, pancakes, and Dr. Pepper. She works in ink and watercolor
and lives in the land of 10,000 lakes with her husband, kids, pug, cat,
guinea pigs, parakeets, and a hedgehog.
Ruth McNally Barshaw writes and illustrates the Ellie McDoodle Diaries and has a few more book projects up her sleeve. She takes a sketch-journal pretty much everywhere (just like her Ellie character) -- the first one was a gift from her art teacher in high school. Ruth lives in the palm of Michigan with her husband, Charlie (also a writer), and the youngest of their four kids. The other kids are grown and on their own but visit often with the grandkids. All in all, Ruth feels incredibly lucky, most of the time.
