Ron Himler
What is your connection to Ohio?
I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio.
What inspired you to become an author and an illustrator?
Art was always a part of my life. As I became older it was logical to see if I could find a way to make a living doing something I loved.
What advice do you have for a young author or illustrator?
If you love what you do--persist! Explore all available avenues. Do not take rejection personally. There are many, many reasons why a work may not get published. It is a business after all.
What do you do for fun?
Art, for me, is my whole life and I would include it in my definition of fun.
