Artist Spotlight - AG Ford

AG FORD  is a New York Times Bestselling Children’s book Illustrator and recipient of two NAACP Image Awards.  He grew up in Dallas, Texas with his Mom, Dad, two sisters and one brother. He started to draw and quickly understood his ability to recreate what he saw with a pencil and paper. Ford went on to attend The Columbus College of Art and Design majoring in illustration.  He is now a freelance illustrator, mainly for children’s books and has illustrated picture books for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Sharon Robinson, Ilyasah Shabazz, Jonah Winter, Martin Luther King III, Nick Cannon, The Archbishop Desmond Tutu and many others. Mr. Ford lives in Frisco, Tx with his lovely wife Brandy.

The wonderful and generous AG Ford created this beautiful piece for WNDB’s Holiday Art poster and notecards:

It’s so gorgeous! See the full notecards up on our campaign page here.

And what’s more, because it is Halloween, AG let us share his spectacular Halloween art with all of you today!

If this art isn’t the best Halloween art around, then I’ll eat all my children’s Halloween candy in one sitting.

For more information about AG and his incredible art, please check out his website at www.agfordillustration.com

And Happy Halloween!!!
