| Jim Caputo | jim@groggydog.com | Bio | Jim graduated from art school in 1986 and began his career as a graphic designer for an ad agency in Philadelphia. After doing work by hand for a few years, he finally acquired a Mac. This allowed him to move on as an art director working for a few design studios along the way.
Illustration has always been his passion and in 1998 he opened Groggy Dog Studios. After sending out a promo piece, he landed an editorial illustration for the Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition. Groggy Dog Studios was up and running. “As a kid,” Jim said, “ I was always reprimanded for daydreaming and now I'm getting paid for it!”
In 2000, he left Philadelphia and moved to Orlando, Florida. While looking for a full-time job, he took the time to develop his technique and experiment with a mixed media of watercolor, pastel, colored pencil, and brushed ink. This allowed for a fresh look and began doing work for magazines such as chickaDEE and Muse.
After nine years of working as an art director by day and illustrator by night, he decided to make illustration a full-time gig in 2007. Jim quips, “My neighbors are convinced I’m hiding under the Federal Witness Protection Program.”
His client list includes The Kennedy Center, Scholastic, Ideals Publications, Norwood House Press, and Harcourt.
In his spare time, he enjoys physical fitness, going to movies, and reading. All of which provide an endless amount of inspiration.

| Judy Stead | judy@judystead.com | Bio | My freelance illustration career actually began in fourth grade, raking in playground quarters from friends who commissioned me to draw horses. Later, in college, I majored in my two favorite subjects, reading and drawing, a good combination for working as (sequentially) teacher, graphic designer, art director, illustrator, author, and painter. My last real job title was Sr. Interactive Designer for a top secret early-internet company in Cambridge, MA. I liked to say I was a construction worker on the Information Superhighway.
I live with my family in Charlotte NC where my "treetop" studio overlooks some of Mother Nature's wildest work. My imagery appears in books, magazines, institutional and corporate publications, and licensed surface design.
The Adobe Illustrator CS WOW! Books series features my art in the 2010‚ 2006, and 2004 editions. My creative work has been recognized with honors by Print Magazine's Regional Design Annual, Art Director's Club, and Bookbuilders of Boston. In favorable reviews from The Horn Book Guide, School Library Journal, Booklist, and Kirkus Reviews, my illustration has been called "exuberant, joyful, vibrant, lively, inviting, vivid, energetic, expressive".
I've illustrated a dozen children's trade books, and THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS IN NORTH CAROLINA, credits me as author/illustrator. |
