About the Illustrator

Nathan Clement declared himself an illustrator four years ago. Nathan holds a bachelor of fine arts degree in art and writing, which launched a surprise career in publishing, design, and art direction. His major roles have been owning a printing company, designing books in-house at Macmillan Computer Publishing, and serving as art director for an ad agency. Through these little adventures, he decided to get back to his art roots and keep both feet planted firmly in both the publishing and design worlds as an illustrator. He has been pleased to illustrate four previous books in the Cisco Press Networking Simplified series and has done work for Que Publishing, Macromedia Press, Peachpit Press, Prentice Hall, and ESPN The Magazine. He lives with his wife, Greta, a nurse practitioner, in Indianapolis and also pursues children’s book illustration with paint and brushes. Contact Nathan at nathan@stickmanstudio.com.
