Tad Carpenter is an illustrator and designer living in Kansas City Missouri. Born to artist parents Tad knew nothing else but to draw and paint. He even married an art director/designer. Tad has been lucky enough to do work with the people at Hallmark Cards, Simon & Schuster, Kidrobot, Atlantic Records, The Corcoran Museum of Art, Myspace, Anorak, Nonsek, Sunrise Greetings and Rayban. He also along with pal Dan Padavic co-run a silkscreen and letterpress shop in Kansas City called Vahalla Studios.
