Tad Carpenter is an illustrator and designer living in sunny, snowy and forever changing Kansas City, Missouri, where he draws, paints, eats peanut butter, plays board games, watches old movies, and collects vintage toys. He's been lucky enough to work with cool-smart clients like Chronicle Books, Atlantic Records, Hallmark Cards, Kidrobot, and Simon & Schuster, to name a few. Together with good buddy, Dan Padavic, Tad calls Vahalla Studios his creative home-base.
