     Kevan lives in the Seattle area near his two amazing sons and his two adorable granddaughters. He is a writer/illustrator of award-winning children's books including Ghost Cat, the 2020 Crystal Kite Award winner from the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. After decades running a graphic design studio, a greeting card company and a few dalliances in the dot.com nuttiness, he finally settled in with his true joy, picture books. 

     Along with Ghost Cat, his books include Bunnies!!!, Puddles!!!, and I Love You More than the Smell of Swamp Gas. Among books illustrated for others are the Dear Beast series by Dori Hillestad Butler, I Want a Boat by Liz Garton Scanlon, Frankie Stein by Lola Schaefer, Halloween Hustle by Charlotte Gunnufson, and Tickle Monster by Josie Bissett

     Then there’s Clippy 

     Yes, kevan created Clippy, the Microsoft Word helper. At one point, he was on hundreds of millions of computers, annoying hundreds of millions of people every day. (kevan has an odd sense of pride in this.)

     

     Go Clippy.

See kevan talk about creating Clippy.
