About M.J. Hook

I was born and raised in vanilla towns across the Midwest, and discovered immaturely that if you want flavor in life, the best waiter to order from is your imagination.

After stuffing myself with fantasy and hurling the glut of my creativity onto drawing paper, canvas, and notepads, what emerged from the heartland was an artistically weird kid with an unhinged imagination.

By day, I manage the creative career of art gigolo—designing brands, publications, brochures, illustrations for a variety of clients. But once the sun sinks, I write, paint, and doodle on walls. Coloring them is much easier than climbing them.

I’m into movies that tell a good story and reading books that force me to forget about responsibility. I like being outdoors with m'dog. Currently stuck in Texas, my heart craves the Rocky Mountains and spends frequent imaginary visits to the Northwest.

M’Lovely wife and kids acknowledge the troll living in the cave, and frequently leave treats at the entrance to keep me alive and gruntled.
