BIO
Anthony Wheeler was a voracious drawer as a child, but as he grew his focus shifted and he chose to attend business school. After wandering into a comic shop in his mid-twenties, Anthony realized his calling was to create. With the goal of becoming a comic artist, he dedicated the next ten years to learning the fundamentals of drawing through books, podcasts, and videos.

In his late thirties, Anthony left his six-figure salary for a career in illustration. Although he faced multiple hurdles, he persevered and is now a full-time children’s book illustrator. He live-streams his art process multiple times a week on Twitch, where he interacts with his online community. You can learn more about Anthony and see his work at anthonywheelerart.com.
