HOWDY THERE!

I'm Joe Mruk - a Pittsburgh-based author- illustrator, creator and designer.

I’ve freelanced as Red Buffalo Illustration for
11 years. I received my BFA at PennWest California in 2010.

I’m the Regional Advisor for the PA West chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.


Key Projects now:

• A middle-grade graphic novel series, Oslo
• A young adult southern gothic ghost story, August
• A picture book trilogy about attics, hallways and basements

I've worked on hundreds of illustrations for sports teams, tech-driven organizations, beer companies, recording artists, music festivals, magazines, charitable organizations, nonprofits, graphic design companies, literary groups, schools, theater companies, local stores and events, and plenty more.
