About me: .. Nancy and Sluggo by ~GuyGilchrist on deviantART
Thanks for stopping by. I'm a Cartoonist, Teacher, Poet, and Illustrator. I'm also a Dad, a Grandfather, a Husband, a Hillbilly, a Golfer, and a decent Guitarplayer and Songwriter.
I've been very blessed in this great rollercoaster life.
Here's my short bio from one of my websites:
"Guy Gilchrist has been an artist and writer of world renown for over two decades. As the writer and illustrator of children's books, his work has won international acclaim and multiple awards. The National Cartoonists Society has nominated Guy for the prestigious Reuben Award in the Best Book Illustrator category three years in a row.
Guy won the award in both 1998 and 1999. As the syndicated cartoonist of Nancy®, Your Angels Speak, Night Lights & Fairy Flights, Mudpie, Screams, The Poetry Guy, The Muppets and The Rock Channel, his work has been shown in both newspapers and museums worldwide, and is permanently enshrined in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C.
He spent many years working on most major cartoon characters, such as Tom and Jerry, Pink Panther, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Looney Tunes with Bugs Bunny, Tiny Toons, and many, many more. as well as creating characters for the Red Sox, Mets, Yankees, and Twins minor league systems. Guy is a member of the National Cartoonists Society, Artists & Writers, and on the Board of Directors of the Newspaper Features Council.
He founded The famous Guy Gilchrist's Cartoonist's Academy and Summer Cartoon Camp now in Simsbury, Connecticut in 2003.
