Born into a family of musicians, artists, and unpublished authors, Jellybean was made for this. His rhyming style and child friendly illustrations offer a fresh new choice in the world of children’s books. Eelyk Flyks began as two separate projects. One was his daughter’s pre-school craft and the other was his Graphic design assignment at the Art Institute of California. He is a rookie to the ranks of the published, but not in hard work. He has illustrated a book in the works called ‘My Pet Spider’ by Cara Fleming, and written four follow up books for the Eelyk Flyks series. He has also written and illustrated ‘My Balloon Ride’. As an artist, his work is in collections throughout the nation, including the collections of Christ Church of the Heartland, Bill Wilson, Mark Duplantis, and Jason Kerr. As a graphic designer, he has worked with numerous companies and ministries to fulfill their branding and marketing needs. He and his wife have also put together a huge collection of Christian apparel, called Atfish Apparel, as well as inspirational photography. He credits God for his talent and his wife, Jessica, his daughter, his mother, artist Ruthi Norton, his sister, artist Aleksa, and his cousins, artists John Schou and Tyler Norton, for his artistic inspiration.
