Hey! Hi! Hello there.

I’m Mike Carpenter (aka Mike Carp). I live in Carson City, Nevada with my wife and dog. I am a drawer of things, a rider of bikes, and an eater of donuts.

Most recently, my illustrations can be found in Jasper and the Yeti, my second book with author Grant Olsen.

In addition to the occasional picture book, I like to draw monsters, mutants, aliens, and other misunderstood creatures.
