Bruce Langton
Children's Illustrator

He has created wonderful illustrations for eleven children's books so far. Bruce has even been offered the opportunity to write a book, where he thinks he will give it a try. He has been quoted saying, "My first love is art - definitely, because I've done it so many years. People ask me, 'Do you ever get tired of it?' and the answer is no, because every painting I work on is a fresh idea - it's like sitting down and writing a new song."

**Interesting fact: Bruce designed the home Notre Dame football tickets this season. They feature the seven Heisman trophy winners lined up across a football field with a sunset sky behind them. **
