In 2007, Bean's illustrations appeared in four separate children's books, including one he had also authored. One of his graduate projects developed into his first picture book, and by the time he received his master's degree in 2005, Bean was getting steady work as an illustrator for magazines, including Cricket. Attending graduate school in New York City, Bean focused on children's-book illustration and developed a portfolio to show to publishers. During the day, he helped transform artworks-sometimes his own-into cross-stitch patterns, while at night he worked on his own illustrations. As a senior, he wrote an essay exploring form in artworks from ancient Greece to modern times.Īfter graduating with a degree in fine arts illustration from Pennsylvania Messiah College, Bean worked as staff artist for a company that created craft and paint-by-number patterns. During high school, Bean took weekly drawing classes with Myron Barnstone of Barnstone Studios, where he studied basic techniques, practiced them over and over, and explored how great artists incorporated them into their works. "I grew up with my mom reading me Virginia Lee Burton books and later I discovered Wanda Gag," he told Shannon Maughan in Publishers Weekly, referring to the author-illustrators of the childhood classics Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel and Millions of Cats respectively. He had an interest in art and illustrated books from a young age. Jonathan Bean grew up in Pennsylvania, the second of four children who were all homeschooled by their parents.
