Brian
Bibi was born in Niles,
Michigan. As a child,
he was always off drawing somewhere. He
continued drawing throughout his education, and in 1998 received his BFA in
Graphic Design from Western Michigan University. After
graduating, he immediately began professional practice in Chicago. In 2001, he
took a sabbatical to Europe to discover it for himself, and his first sketch
planted a seed. In 2002, he returned to Europe
for more exploring and has now combined his love for kids, travel, and graphic
design, to provide educational material for young children about our world.
He
is currently in Amsterdam working on the next book of the Explore Series: Explore
Southeast Asia. He spent the first
six months of 2003 traveling through the nine countries of Southeast Asia.
