John Hare

John Hare spent his youth in Kansas drawing comic strips and writing stories about a crime-fighting crocodile. He earned an associate’s degree in graphic design and became an art director for a sportswear company, later moving to Kansas City to work as a freelance graphic designer. It was here that John picked up a brush for the first time and painted a train scene for his son's nursery. That’s when he realized he wanted nothing more than to bring stories to life.
