Chuck Dillon was born in a small chaotic row home in Philadelphia where drawing was always encouraged. He has been an illustrator since 1993 and taught for thirteen years at his alma mater, the Hussian School of Art. At the age of 19 Chuck landed a comic strip in the Philadelphia Daily News called, The Inside Dirt. Chuck has created award winning illustrations for such clients as Highlights for Children, PBS Sprout, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, Princeton University, the Philadelphia Zoo and many more.
Chuck is a member, six-time nominee, and two-time Silver Reuben Award winner of the National Cartoonist Society.
Chuck and Mike Bender’s book, The Most Serious Fart, was featured on episode 2 of Ryan Reynold’s Bedtime Stories with Ryan. Their new book, The Bravest Booger, will be featured in Season 2.
Chuck enjoys wandering aimlessly in the woods, making others laugh, visiting foreign places, and convincing the world he is a cowboy (which he is not).
Chuck is a native Philadelphian but currently resides in the Nashua, NH area with his agelessly beautiful scientist wife, their creative son, and one very cartoony dog. Chuck likes to hide himself and/or his family in many of his illustrations, as seen above.
