Hey. Hi.

I’m Mike Carpenter (aka Mike Carp). I live in Reno, Nevada with my wife and dog. When I’m not working at my day job, I like to draw stuff.

Most recently, my illustrations can be found in Rhino Trouble, by Grant Olsen. The book tells the story of two brothers who use their skills (and a dash of bravery) to ward off some troublesome rhinos.

In addition to the occasional picture book, I draw monsters, mutants, aliens, zombies, cute things, creepy things, and assorted food items.

Currently, I am working with Grant on our second book, Jasper and the Yeti.
