Mike Spindle has been creating characters, writing stories, and illustrating them ever since Miss Wallace told him to draw pictures for his stories in second grade. AND, she encouraged him to sculpt.
Hooray for good teachers! Hooray for Miss Wallace!

Toy and gift companies that have worked with Mike on product design include Disney, Hallmark, Mattel, Hasbro, Kenner, Tonka, Pound Puppies, and more.

Wait, there's more! You will soon see Mike's work in
the stop-motion animated motion picture, SAURUS CITY,  to be released in 2022. Storyboards, character design, sculpting, and model making skills were utilized and credited.

A father of 3 and grandfather of 13, it was only natural to decide to create picture books for children.  And, with almost 40 years as illustrator, sculptor, and model maker in the toy biz, Mike has learned a thing or two that are shared in his Crafty How-To books.
