The Author
Take a results-driven Interactive Art Director, Graphic Designer, Illustrator, and Writer who has a lot of positive eccentricities with some humor and what do you get? The limitless ingenuity of Jordan Crowl.
Jordan is a children’s book author and illustrator who loves bringing characters to life with engaging colorful character building worlds. He writes and illustrates stories that spark laughter, curiosity, and a sense of adventure in young readers that help personal growth. He is taking character building words to another level. Jordan has always been an illustrator and started sketching at a very young age and has never stopped—now he uses pencils, paints, and digital tools to tell stories that kids and grown-ups can enjoy together. When he’s not sketching or writing, you can find him searching for story ideas in in words of character, past childhood experiences, and his now grown up children's past dramatic routines.
Jordan lives in Georgia with his wife, a very talkative German-Shepherd, and an ever-growing collection of comic books.
