Michael J. White started drawing at age 2 and never stopped. Since his graduation from the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida, Michael has created board games, interactive DVDs, album and CD covers, magazine covers, editorial illustrations, children's books, coloring books, billboards, posters, T-shirt designs, logos, vehicle wraps, bubble gum cards, and launched a lot of concepts and characters into action. After teaching at the Ringling College of Art for many years, Michael now enjoys freelancing and drawing caricatures. He only has one rule “If it's not fun, I'm not doing it.”
