Craig Gilbert was born and raised in and around New Haven, Connecticut where he has remained, relatively unscathed, for his entire life.
Writing and drawing from the moment he was delivered (a birthday easily remembered as it was Friday the 13th), as a youngin', Craig developed a fondness for Charles Addams, humorous absurdity, Ogden Nash, and basement hiding places. A similar shadow-y, dark sense of humor can still be enjoyed in all of his "childrens" poems.
Craig also has been doodling since he first dragged a crayon across a bedroom wall.....something he still does on occasion.
Besides the artwork, the illustrations, and writing the Little Nell Poems and many categories of off-beat, "weird kid-lit", Craig can be found having fun with just about anything he's doing...which pretty much involves making the 10 year-old in all of us, crack up laughing.
And as you can see by the pictures of him throughout this site, Craig owns a lot of black shirts.
