My Name is Dan Tavis and I am a New York Times Bestselling illustrator living in New Hampshire. I have been doodling ever since my first math class in elementary school and haven’t stopped since! I have a passion for illustrating characters that emotionally connect with the viewer and tell stories through a visual narrative. Most of my work is done traditionally with watercolor and ink or digitally with the Ipad Pro using the Procreate app.
