karen craigkec123@mac.comBioKaren Craig has been designing and illustrating for children for over fifteen years. After a BFA from Syracuse University, her first job was to conceptualize, design and illustrate reading incentives and educational materials for children of all ages for the Upstart Company, now owned by the Highsmith, Inc. Following several years of coming up with a myriad of ways to say "Love Your Library," Karen went back to school for BFA in Toy Design from The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, where she graduated with honors. Her degree in Toy Design led her to a job with Nickelodeon Consumer Products, where she was a senior designer for seven years, learning the many facets of working within the realm of licensed brands, products and properties. While at Nickelodeon, Karen had the opportunity to work as senior concept designer on various liaisons with Nickelodeon branding partners such as Kraft Foods, Ford Motors and FAO Schwarz. She was also very much involved with the Nick Jr., property, "Blue's Clues." Her Blue's Clues Style Guide won a Broadcast Design Award gold medal. Karen has also illustrated over 25 Blue's Clues licensed books for various publishers since the late 1990's. Surface pattern design is one of Karen's favorite types of projects. Some of her pattern work can be found on various Nickelodeon products such as The Fairly Odd Parents, Jimmy Neutron, Blue's Room and The Rugrats packaging. She has also created pattern art for licensed properties such as Olivia (the pig) for Chorion-Silver Lining and Mama Mirabelle's Home Movies, for National Geographic Kids. Karen enjoys the field of book arts and creates "artist books" of all kinds. Trying her hand at commercial concept/board book design, Karen's cloth book concept "Play Pockets" was published by Innovative KIDS in 2006. She is also a big fan of pop-ups. The Museum of Modern Art recently published one of her pop-card designs for their 2007 Holiday line. A second design is scheduled for 2008 publication. The 2007 design was a finalist for a Greeting Card Association Louie Award. Karen is currently developing several picture and board book ideas, although she has yet to seek out a publisher.

srnoblesteve@stevennoble.comBioKnown all around the world as the most prolific and versatile scratchboard artist in the commercial art world for over 18 years, Steven Noble has created a style around the scratchboard medium that encompasses a wide range of detail and style. Over the years, he has become equally adept in the woodcut, pen and ink, traditional engraving and steel engraving styles, as well as a variety of stylized scratchboard techniques. His highly disciplined and complex line work is based on over 15 years of experience using X-Acto precision knives carved into pre-inked clay boards which generate very fine line strokes which allow a versatility in the detail from bold woodcuts to very fine traditional 19 century steel engravings.Over the course of his career, he has created many nationally recognized logos and ad campaigns for a large list of prestigious and high caliber clients such as Coors (corporate/packaging logo), Exxon-Mobil (stock certificate), JP Morgan (annual report) and Mercedes-Benz (ad campaigns). A lot of his expertise encompasses a large volume of subject matter that include food, portraits, animals, maps, architecture, and corporate conceptual images. In 2001, he won the "Meade Show Award for Excellence" for creating the best corporate conceptual illustration for an annual report for the Wet Seal's 2001 Annual Report. In addition, in 1996 his work was recognized in the Communication Art Magazine for the best advertising spot for "Beaulieu Vineyards." Steven continues to strive for excellence in his work and is always up for the next challenge. One of his last projects was a series of illustrations for the acclaimed Children's book "Zathura" which came out (Fall 2005) at the same time as the release of the movie "Zathura". You can see more samples in the Workbook, Black Book, and Directory of Illustration. For a comprehensive sampling of over 2500 images of Steven Noble's work go to: www.stevennoble.com.
