Jimmy Pickering

Artist, author, and illustrator

Jimmy Pickering is a talented artist, author, and illustrator whose unique and imaginative style has been seen in books, galleries, and theme parks around the world.

Publisher’s Weekly cited his work as "clever and spooky."

Jimmy was accepted into California Institute of the Arts, School of Film and Video at the ripe old age of seventeen. He studied character animation, production design, art direction and most importantly, the art of storytelling. "Storytelling is always at the core of what I am compelled to create.”

He has a unique creative vision and original style which has lead him to work for some of the top creative companies in the world such as Hallmark, The Walt Disney Company, and Universal Studios.

Eventually, he left the corporate world and began telling stories of his own through his art, first in “sold out” gallery shows and then in the world of publishing through his illustration and writing. Now he is telling stories using these three outlets full time, having written and illustrated over 20 books and exhibiting his original paintings throughout the world. “It is an amazing experience and one I am happy and grateful for every single day.”

He lives in Oregon with his loyal canine companions, Pugsley and Wednesday.
