Gary Lee Shipman (born March 16, 1966) is an American artist, comic book illustrator and writer of ''Pakkins' Land''. He is father to three children. ==Biography== Shipman grew up in Salinas, California and is a self-taught artist. His interest in comics and art first began at a young age, while in the sixth grade. 〔http://lubbockonline.com/stories/081499/ent_0814990017.shtml#.VgYQ3LSDcoU〕 Shipman, with wife Rhoda Shipman, first created the independently produced comic book series ''Pakkins' Land'' in 1995, both plotting out the stories together and Gary scripting, lettering, penciling, and inking the illustrations for the series. ''Pakkins’ Land'' tells the adventuresome and engaging tale of Paul, a young boy who finds himself in a magical world filled with talking animals, mystery and excitement. ''Pakkins’ Land'' has been heralded for excellence by both critics and peers alike, accumulating an international following and numerous award nominations. 〔http://www.hahnlibrary.net/comics/awards/manning.php〕 〔(1998 Will Eisner Comic Industry Award Nominees ), the Comic Book Awards Almanac〕 Certain characters in the ''Pakkins' Land'' stories are named after Shipman's children. Shipman resides in Illinois with his family and, at times, makes appearances as a guest artist at comic conventions in the region. 〔http://www.wizardworld.com/garyshipman.html〕 〔http://chi-fi.org/artists.html〕 In late 2013, a 46 page color collection of his artistry: ''The Gary Shipman Sketchbook Volume #1'', ISBN 1600392016 was published by Lamp Post, Inc., released as both a perfect-bound paperback edition and also as a Kindle e-book. 〔http://www.amazon.com/The-Gary-Shipman-Sketchbook-Volume/dp/1600392016〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gary Shipman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
