JOHN SKEWES began work as a product designer and character artist for Disney Consumer Products before leaving to start his own company, Retrodyne Industries, in 2001. His clients include Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera, Fox, Pixar, and Simon & Schuster. As the creator and illustrator of the award-winning Larry Gets Lost children's book series, John has followed Larry from the southern tip of Texas to tiny Nome, AK, and has been lost several times himself. He has illustrated over 20 children's books, including the Elliott the Otter and A Ticket to the Pennant.
Whether they’re riding the monorail, cruising along Alaskan Way or
floating by houseboats and hydroplanes, Larry and Pete are teaching
our Littles there are letters to be found everywhere, and of
course, U is indeed for umbrella. Larry Gets Lost creator and
illustrator John Skewes and author Robert Schwartz are both
Northwest residents, which is obvious in this familiar and fun look
at all our glorious city has to offer.
