Curt Walstead

I have over twenty years of experience as an illustrator, cartoonist, character designer, and plush toy designer specializing in children’s books and products. I’ve also worked in the animation industry as a storyboard artist for Disney, Warner Bros., Sony, Universal Studios, and Nickelodeon and have over 8 years experience as a plush/toy designer for the retail market. As a plush designer, I was responsible for both concept and product/character design for both seasonal and everyday product lines.

Many of my books are sold through barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com. You can also review my online portfolio if you go to curtwalstead.com.
