ARTIST PROFILE: The day forty years ago that Pete McDonnell first grabbed a crayon and scrawled it across a piece of paper to express himself, he had, unbeknownst to him, found his calling in life. Soon after his eyes could focus on the comics pages and the TV set, Pete found that he responded to the colors and design of comic art. His early influences were George Herriman (Krazy Kat), Walt Kelly (Pogo) and Mort Drucker (Mad magazine caricaturist). Fast forward a few years, and Pete found that pushing a pencil for a living made for a nice lifestyle (late to bed and late to rise). Now married for eight years to wife Shannon, he now retires early and rises early, just in time to have a hot bowl of cereal with his 6 year old son Jacob.
