Collaborate with Illustrator Michael Slack to create amazing illustrations! Grown-ups and kids will love this event!  Book signing to follow!

As a kid Michael wanted to be Eddy Munster and have a pet Creature from the Black Lagoon. This was impossible, so he created his own creepy world to inhabit.

Michael's illustrations have appeared in books, magazines, advertisements, and on TV. His paintings and drawings have been exhibited in the U.S. and Europe.

Recommended for ages 4+ (and grown-ups too!)

Michael Slack developed his drawing skills by copying photographs of mummies and piranhas out of checked out library books. In his teens Slack's artistic aspirations gravitated towards underground comics and punk rock gig poster graphics . After attending a summer art program at Cal-Arts, Michael decided that art school was a good idea.

Upon graduating Michael turned his love of monsters into a career creating and animating characters for computer games. After only a few years in the gaming industry Michael decided to jump on the freelance roller coaster which he has been happily riding ever since.
