Illustrator:
Rick Hemphill spent much of his boyhood in front of a sketchbook with pencil in hand. He now makes his living as one of those “starving artists” you were warned about in school—designing and illustrating all manner of stuff—and lovin’ it! A native of Southern California, Rick has left the surf and sand for the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, where he lives with wife, Becky, their three girls (who have been known to run off with his erasers), Rusty the dog, Edgar the cat, and his Mac.
