Meet Professor Patrick!

Hi! I'm Patrick Scullin, a professional illustrator, cartoonist, and college professor who loves helping people discover their creativity.

I've spent years teaching art, illustration, graphic design, and storytelling. I've also created my own comic books and characters, including Super Siblings and Ninja Pig.

I created the Character Creator Workbook because I believe everyone has the ability to be creative. Sometimes all you need is a little guidance and encouragement to get started.

My goal is simple: Help your kids stop wondering what to draw and start bringing their own amazing ideas to life!

Happy creating!

Professor Patrick
