Gary Taxali is an award-winning illustrator and has exhibited in many galleries and museums throughout North America and Europe including Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York City and The Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome. In 2005, he launched his first vinyl toy, The Toy Monkey, which included a special edition along with a silkscreen print commissioned by The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. This led Gary to create his own toy company, Chump Toys, which recently saw the release of his 'OH NO' and 'OH OH' vinyl figures. Aside from his gallery shows and illustration work, Gary also devotes a portion of his time teaching and lecturing at various arts organizations and schools. Currently, Gary is writing and illustrating his first children's book entitled "This Is Silly" which is being published by Scholastic and slated for a Summer 2010 release. He lives and works in Toronto, Canada.

Here is an illustration I created for Nicholas Blechman at The New York Times Book Review.  It's entitled The Ask and is written by author Sam Lipsyte.  The review by Lydia Millet begins with this great opening line:   Sam Lipsyte’s third novel, “The Ask,” is a dark and jaded beast — the sort of book that, if it were an animal, would be a lumbering, hairy, crypto zoological ape-man with a near-crippling case of elephantiasis.
