Bio

 

K.G. Campbell grew up in a wetly wild island nation, and was educated in an old and haunted place with turrets and grimly cloaked teachers. There he learned to love all things ancient, dusty, and a bit ghastly. He graduated from Edinburgh University with a Masters in Art History. After a career in interior design, he returned to his first and greatest love: creating art and stories for kids. He is the author and illustrator of Lester’s Dreadful Sweaters, from Kids Can Press. He currently resides in Los Angeles, California.
