Illustrator Tina Kugler's quirky style is the toast of the peanut butter & jelly crowd. She lives in Los Angeles with her artist husband,  three boys and an enormous hairy dog named Harryhausen.

 

Tina's illustration debut is the picture book THE CHANGE YOUR NAME STORE, written by Leanne Shirtliffe, published by Sky Pony Press.

 

Tina spent ten years drawing storyboards in the animation industry for studios such as Walt Disney, Nickelodeon, and Warner Bros., and is also known for her iconic Sputnik Girl posters for Manitowoc, Wisconsin's annual Sputnikfest. She also owned a children's bookshop and worked in the youth department of a public library (where her singing made small children weep with terror). Tina is also a Cub Scout leader and has little to no spare time.
