Immensely consumed artist, animator, illustrator, graff writer and designer, I am famously married to girlhula and I am a father to two quirky kids, Ava and Ezra.
Originally from the deep South: Atlanta, GA, and now live and breathe in Portland, OR.
Flickr groups I've started and/or moderate:
The Retro Kid: illustration and artwork from children's books, ads, etc. from 40's-60's.
The Retro Teen: same stuff, but meant for teenagers.
Vintage Science: anything science-related pre-1980.
Mid-Century Science: vintage science 1940's-1960's ONLY.
Vintage Education: vintage textbooks, etc., from 40's-60's.
Jim Flora Art: devoted to the fantastic artist, Jim Flora.
I am one of the contributors to Drawn!, the illustration and comics blog.
NOTE: All photos, personal artwork, and various images are copyrighted by me, Ward Jenkins, unless otherwise noted. The images of vintage books and magazines, etc. are copyright to their respective owners, however, I do own the actual scans you see here in my Flickr.

"when you meet him, see if you can peep his moleskine. it's a wonderland of creativity. you'll end up with a crush on him.
and anyone who does what he does to get his kid to fall asleep is a champ in my book. i'd never do that :)"1st July, 2007

"Ward is awesome. He's super nice AND super talented (heck, his name spelled backwards is Draw!). The best thing about Ward is that when he gets out of line, all you have to do is give his beard a sharp tug."
