Hello! My name is Laura Terry. I’m the author and illustrator of the graphic novel, Graveyard Shakes and illustrator of Anna Strong and the Revolutionary War Culper Spy Ring. As a child, I spent my days in rural Texas raising livestock, playing in the woods, and discovering an intense love for books, particularly those of Neil Gaiman, Roald Dahl, and Ursula K. Le Guin. I studied painting at Pratt Institute, then got my very fancy Masters in Cartooning from the Center for Cartoon Studies in Vermont. Now, I work (and play) as an illustrator and cartoonist in Brooklyn with my tiny poodle Muffin. I especially love drawing adorable woodland creatures and fantasy stories involving ghosts. My very first graphic novel, Graveyard Shakes, is available here. You can also find me on Instagram and Twitter!
