David Habben is an illustrator who loves bringing the characters in books to life through illustrations.
He's been a Utah-based illustrator for almost 20 years and has worked with local, national and international clients.
He's a graduate of BYU and The University Of Utah and has taught illustration at both schools.
His latest project is with Martin Stewart's Bridge Vanderpuff books, which are perfect for middle-grade readers who love adventure, baking and friendship.
David says, "I love to promote reading and drawing in any way I can. Fostering the creative community is a passion of mine, and I hope these books and all of my work help people to feel confident in their own creative exploration."
You can meet him at a book signing event for Bridget Vanderpuff at the American Fork Library on January 28, 2025 at 6:00 p.m.
The event is being hosted by The King's English. David says, "The King's English is one of my favorite bookstores and holds a special place in my heart as it was also where I held my first-ever book release event for Mr. Sherman's Cloud in 2018. Their store and staff create a perfect book-finding and enjoying experience."
