Dave Garbot is a professional illustrator and has been drawing for as long as he can remember. He is frequently called on to create his characters for children's books and other publications. Dave always has a sketchbook with him and gets many of his ideas from the things he observes every day, as well as from lots of colorful childhood memories. Although he admits that creating characters brings him personal enjoyment, making his audience smile, feel good, and maybe even giggle is what really makes his day.
