Hi, I'm Leon (Dad was also named Leon so Mom put the P in to avoid confusion) I'm an illustrator (mostly) and an art director/designer (for decades). Also, a Dad and cat herder -- someone's got to help out the mice!

Today we are thinking of Eric Carle, who passed away one year ago. This self portrait was sketched by Carle and was used in an early newsletter that was sent out to his beloved fans. We thank you, Eric Carle, for sharing your artwork, stories, and books with the world.
