JONAS SICKLER lives in Syracuse, NY with his wife and two boys. When he is not shoveling snow, Jonas is busy creating artwork and writing children's books. Jonas is most inspired by vintage textile design, vintage animation, vintage books, as well as old toys and games. Pretty much anything with dust on it. (^_^)

Jonas Sickler has always been influenced by the beautiful illustrations of Mary Blaire, as well as the fantastic textile designs of Alexander Girard. Some of his favorite contemporary illustrators are Lane Smith and Calif Brown

Jonas is a graduate of Syracuse University. He began his career illustrating children’s magazines. Jonas’ first proffessional assignment was for the cover of Cicada Magazine. Since then, Jonas has added numerous periodical illustrations and several books to his portfolio. His first six books are part of the INDESTRUCTIBLES® series by Workman Publishing Company.

Jonas is available for Speaking Engagements for elementary education, colleges and proffessional illustrators.

Jonas is now represented by Painted words. If you would like to commission an assigment, please contact his agent, Lori Nowicki.
