I, Michael Sanborn, sprang, fully formed, from the head of Zeus in the Winter of 1969. What the king of the Greek Gods of antiquity was doing in Worchestor, Massachussets is, to this day, the subject of much conjecture. Who really knows what drives Zeus, anyway?

In my formative years, I poured myself into my two greatest passions, the visual arts and the written word. Seldom could I be found without a pencil and paper. Following the advice of well-meaning, though completely misinformed relatives, I pursued other interests until well after grade school. Finally, I succumbed to my conscience and embarked on my artistic career, starting with my acceptance to the Ringling School of Art and Design. While at Ringling, I submerged myself in my and everyone else's art. When I left, I took away several honors, including Outstanding Sophomore and Junior Animator award as well as being named the Trustee Scholar for my Senior year.

I spent the next several years working for a variety of outstanding companies honing my animation and illustration craft. All the while I continued to write children's books, short stories, film treatments, and screenplays, between freelance illustration, animation, and graphic design work.

Currently I live and work in sunny Orlando with my wife and our two, enormously entertaining dogs, Petie and Sally. I hope you enjoy some of the work you see here, possibly even to the extent of offering me some lucrative multi book deal. I'm pretty sure it is what Zeus would want you to do.
