Brandon Ruiter

When Brandon was very young he had drawn a cartoon dog by copying one that he thought looked cool. Someone saw it and commented “Wow Brandon, that’s really good!” That gave Brandon a good feeling. He’s been chasing that feeling ever since. After thousands of doodles in the margins of his papers and years of transforming his crazy imaginings into drawings, Brandon now gets that good feeling every time he draws, and when he sees other people’s drawings! His love for drawing and doodling has given him the opportunity to create characters for Nickelodeon, Atomic Cartoons and countless other clients around the world. His favorite things to doodle are fantastical creatures and crazy monsters.
