Idaho Artist & Children’s Illustrator
Adore the cover of The Treasure of Mad Doc Magee? You are not alone! This wonderful depiction of Jenny & Pandora in the mountains is the work of Forrest Dickison, a full-time illustrator and artist.
Born and raised in Moscow, Idaho, Forrest is a man of many talents. His delightful illustrations are featured in children’s books such as Hello Ninja, Blah Blah Black Sheep, and The Sword of Abram. More recently, he has collaborated with N.D. Wilson and HarperCollins on the Outlaws of Time trilogy.
When Forrest is not illuminating stories, he can be found out on the hills of the Palouse chasing the light (and the clouds) with a brush and some paint. You can purchase his fine art at the Montana Gallery and the Meyer Gallery.
