Springing from the wilds of Western Massachusetts, Jeff Grader finds artistic inspiration in the woods, furry animals, zombies, and the contrasts that surround us all.

 

Jeff holds a BFA in illustration from Massachusetts College of Art in Boston.

 

Since 1995, his visions have appeared in magazine articles, books, character designs, animations, Web sites, and countless advertising and marketing materials.

 

In 2010, Jeff’s picture book Change took the one and only Platinum Award given for Children’s Book Illustration in the 40th Annual International Creativity Awards competition. His second picture book Kindness was released in November 2012.
