About the Artist:
Edward Andres Dennis is a Mexican-American Author/Illustrator and frijoles y arroz connoisseur. At an early age Dennis always knew he wanted to be an artist. His fondest memories are of his mother reading books to him and watching Reading Rainbow. Day and night Dennis was creating something, a doodle, some craft or writing a story in hopes of one day creating a book for children like himself to read. Dennis created art through his teenage to adult life working for some of the most well known companies. His favorite times have been spent as a Special Education teacher in inner city Phoenix. Dennis currently lives between Los Angeles, California and Phoenix, Arizona where he works as a freelance artist. His two life goals are to inspire children that look like him and for his children's books have an impact on youth and how they view the world. 

Dennis has worked with brands such as Toyota USA, Disney, Sesame Street, Anheuser-Busch, Western Union and Giordana cycling. His work has been in publications like Mountain flyer: the mountain bike journal, ImagineFX, Bicycling Magazine, Backcountry magazine, Pure Nintendo, and Nintendo force. He has also worked on several video games such as Super Ubie Island, Up Up Ubie and currently Super Ubie Island 2.
