Texas resident Keith Graves began his career in illustration as a child, drawing everything possible. Among many other projects, Graves has created cover art for the Austin Chronicle. He began writing and illustrating children’s books before the birth of his twins, and he is responsible for such imaginative masterpieces as FRANK WAS A MONSTER WHO WANTED TO DANCE and UNCLE BLUBBAFINK’S SERIOUSLY RIDICULOUS STORIES. FRANK WAS A MONSTER WHO WANTED TO DANCE has already been brought to life by Lost Boys Studios, and Graves has several other animated tales in the works with Nickelodeon and Disney, among others.
