Tom Booth

By LatAm ARTE

Tom Booth is an author, illustrator, and character designer working in bookmaking and animation. Born on the twelfth day of the twelfth month, Tom made his earliest marks — sometimes on his parents’ antique kitchen table — growing up just outside of Philadelphia. Tom made more marks as a studio art and history major at Hamilton College, then moved to New York City to work at Scholastic to afford a table and art supplies for more mark making. Today, Tom lives in Brooklyn where he writes, illustrates, and designs for publishers and studios—like Simon & Schuster, Netflix, Random House, Macmillan, Walker/Candlewick, and Nickelodeon.
