About

Hello, my name is Thomas Cosby and I work as a freelance artist primarily as a illustrator, cartoonist, and occasional graphic designer for printed materials.

My artwork appears online and in print formats including logos, flyers, article and book illustrations, brochures, caricatures, cartoon strips, product technical illustrations, t-shirts, and more. I live in the US with my wife Melinda and our pets – a Shih Tzu named Shelly, and three cats named Stormie, Sissy, and Salem.

Short biography

My first dated drawing, was of my Great Grandma Brummett, when I was 3 years old. Shortly after that I set-up a card table as a gallery booth where I sold my drawings to family, friends, and neighbors. All through school I passed my time filling countless notebooks with drawings, and took every art class available.

After school I worked many various jobs leaving my last job, as a meat department manager, to attend Vincennes University. In my second year at college in a Funeral service/science/embalming major I took a few art classes for fun, and switched my major to Illustration and Graphic Design.

I started working freelance after a year into my switch and I decided to save my time/money/debt by leaving college to continue on my own. Before I left I completed 77 credit hours, learned a great deal, and I am glad to be busy drawing most of the time now.
