Tom Drennen is a veteran creative leader & rookie cartoonist.
Today, he’s working on his first-ever middle grade graphic novel with Random House Graphic from the
rural-ish suburbs of Michigan.
Before that…
Tom spent 20+ years at a handful of marketing agencies as a writer, art director and creative director for some of the biggest and bestest brands in the world.
Before that…
Tom and his then 7-year-old son developed and launched Booty Dash® – a fast-paced, ADHD-friendly card game for pirates of all ages.
Before that…
Tom helped design, lead and teach a first-of-its-kind commerce marketing curriculum at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan.
Before that…
Tom was the founder and Doodler-in-Chief of the original Doodle Gooder initiative — a community of 500+ worldwide creatives harnessing their creativity to inspire hope and bravery in hospital-bound kiddos from 2015 to 2017.
Before that…
Tom met his brilliant, beautiful, buff wife in Chicago. (They later moved to Michigan to begin tinkering on two Model Year 2040 adults.)
Before that…
Tom was just a regular kid from rural Ohio with a bunch of regular kid-like goals: playing in the NBA, becoming a comic book creator, inventing the world’s first flying car, retiring early so he could draw all day, every day.
