Every story needs someone who sees the typos and the heart of the tale. Daniel is the co-creator and editor of Art Adventurers. The keeper of clarity, consistency, and well-placed commas. He helps shape the story so readers laugh, think, and turn that next page.
When Daniel isn't busy script editing, the comedy writer is babysitting his nephews, playing video games, or watching pro wrestling. He's also rewriting this intro a dozen times in his head.
His favourite part of the process is definitely creating new, or developing existing, characters and thinking up fun visuals. Letting his imagination run wild with the freedom of writing books for children. You're not going to see a BMX riding octopus in the latest Grisham.
Stephanie, better known online as "Froztbyte", is the Head Illustrator for Art Adventures. Collaborating with Lisa, Daniel, and the rest of the Art Adventures team, Stephanie brings the team's ideas to life while incorporating her own unique style into each drawing. From Concepts to the final process, Stephanie works every step of the way to show you the colorful scenes you see today.
When Stephanie is not illustrating, she works diligently to expand her portfolio while making time to hang out with her friends. Bringing Caleb and the rest of the Art Adventurers Characters to life has quickly become her favorite part of the process.
From big-picture logistics to little details, Mia and her publishing company, Kistemo, are the publishing powerhouse helping Art Adventurers come to life.
As a pioneer in healthy entertainment, she’s devoted to creating meaningful, lasting experiences—values she extends not just to audiences, but to the people she works with.
When she isn’t helping other people’s dreams come true, Mia spends her time writing and creating art of her own.
Some kids grow out of imaginary worlds. Lisa didn’t.
Lisa Lee is the author and co-creator of Art Adventurers, and for her, getting lost in fictional worlds isn’t just a hobby—it’s a way of life.
As the oldest of six kids, she spent her childhood inventing games, turning classic stories into parodies, and building imaginary worlds for her siblings to explore. These days, she’s still crafting stories that spark adventure and curiosity (just with fewer cardboard box spaceships).
When she’s not working on Art Adventurers, Lisa is usually juggling creative projects, writing for other media, or spending time with some pretty awesome kids.
Her favorite part of the process? Helping kids (and grown-ups) remember that imagination can take you anywhere.
Though we come from different parts of the world, one thing we all share is the belief that imagination is the best kind of adventure. It sparks universes, livens up everyday life, and—if done right—could even change the world.
Get to know the team behind the Art Adventurers series—the curious minds and creative hearts who help bring Caleb, Bella, and the whole crew to life!
