Ted Enik Author & Illustrator

As a veteran illustrator, Ted Enik has applied his versatility to original children's book art as well as popular characters. He recently switched hats and is now happily writing (and rhyming) up a storm. G. F. Newland, illustrator, has held a long and ponderous chain of odd jobs over the years, and some were quite horrible indeed, so to pass the time, he doodled. Many of these doodles have made their way into books and buttons and bags and posters and T-shirts, published by the likes of Scholastic and Hachette, and Pixel Mouse House, too. His favorite odd jobs to date include being a dad, working at the School of Visual Arts in NYC (where he got his master's in animation, and playing guitar in a power pop band called the (unrepentantly pop) Thigh Highs.
