About Pete

Ever since Pete was a young child, he discovered he has a strong passion for storytelling and drawing…be it the ketchup doodles on his dinner plate or children’s book about a multi armed mom, concocting narrative has been his gumption. Pete graduated from Rhode Island School of Design as an illustration major and since then, he has written and illustrated traditional humorous greeting cards for Hallmark, as well as digital animated Ecards.  He has illustrated numerous children’s books, contributed to Highlights Magazine for Children, created an original comic strip for Disney’s Family Fun Magazine, been the lead artist and animator for an award-winning podcast series, 7 Minute Stories, and now, is a professor at the Cleveland Institute of Art.  Pete is always looking to find a story worth telling by using his humorous illustration and motion graphic animation skills to help find the deeper meaning, the humorous situation or the heartfelt moment in any story. 

 

We all have a story to tell.  Pete’s motion graphic essays or humorous illustrations are a great way to have your stories come to life.
