ASPCA Kids: Pet Rescue Club: No Time for Hallie

Dana Regan grew up in a small village in northern Wisconsin. It was very cold and snowy, so she migrated south to St. Louis to get her BFA in Illustration from Washington University. It was very hot, so she traveled west to Kansas City and made greeting cards. It was a very big company, so she set up a small studio in her home to freelance and illustrate children&;s books. It was just right. She is living happily ever after. But she misses the cold and snow. Dana has written 10 books and illustrated more than 85 books for children.

Steve James was born in Midland, Texas, in 1973, the fifth of nine children. He has always enjoyed making pictures. Steve received his BFA in illustration from Brigham Young University where he studied traditional painting techniques. Since then, he has worked in the entertainment industry as an illustrator and concept artist. Steve latched on to digital art at an early age. He first used a computer tablet on the TI-99/4a in 1983 and is happy he his is not limited to eight colors today. He now finds the computer a wonderful tool for getting what is in his head out where other people can see it. Steve enjoys running around town like a crazy man and wishes his body would not break down so much. Many people believe he only runs as an excuse to fuel his shoe collecting habit and dress like a superhero. He now lives in Lehi, Utah, with his wife and crazy cat.
