About Me
My name is Jeff (@diaryofabaldguy) and I grew up in Illinois where I established a great career as a senior graphic designer and art director within a powerhouse marketing team. I now reside in colorful Colorado where I feel a true connection with nature, the people and culture on the front range. I began this freelance hustle in 2021 and now expanded to being an author and illustrator for my own books based on these beasts of mine, as well as creating art for others’ stories to tell the world.
My dog Forrest is a border collie, blue heeler and lab mix. I love seeing all the different behavioral traits he possesses with each breed he’s made up of. Perhaps that’s where my fascination with our mixed DNA come in play. Anthropology, psychology and biology definitely peak my curiosity.
Who are the Tiny Beasts?
Meet Yakoon, my sidekick and your brand concierge. He also has many friends he met along the way. You’ll meet the Narwalrus, Caracaroo, Mambex, Alpangowary, Caffelope, Platypotamus and Peacasso.
Why a beast? Well, with much inspiration for our worldly and odd creatures, plus movies and books full of monsters and mythical beings from the likes of Tim Burton and “Where the Wild Things Are” I wanted to represent a brand with authenticity, the way TBS wants to do for you. Yakoon is a mix between a yak, mandrill baboon and wild boar. He lives in a hybrid world and the book series is currently being created! Stay tuned…
