Jeff Wissman: Illustrator

Jeff's love for drawing began at an early age. His dad, who worked at an office supply factory, played a major role in developing his artistic skills by keeping their home stocked with pencils, markers, and paper. Jeff used these supplies to draw his favorite Saturday morning cartoons, eventually creating his own unique style. His work has earned numerous awards and several pieces have been showcased in galleries throughout his hometown of St. Louis. 

When he's not at the drawing board, Jeff enjoys spending time with family and friends, listening to music, walking at the park, and indulging in his favorite food group: CHOCOLATE!
