For the past forty years, R.R. Blechman has been a major force in the field of illustration. Twenty years ago he branched into animation, and he now pursues a dual career as illustrator and director of the New York-based studio The Ink Tank. The studio has produced award-winning animation for such clients as Hershey's, MTV, Nickelodeon, the Children's Television Workshop, and the Cartoon Network. R.O. Blechman's work has appeared numerous times on the covers and in the pages of The New Yorker, the Atlantic, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times Book Review. He is the author and illustrator of several books, the most recent of which are The Life of Saint Nicholas and The Book of Jonah. In 1983 he was named "Illustrator of the Year" by Adweek.
