Salli S. Swindell

My brother Nate Padavick and I are a brother/sister design and illustration team known as Studio SSS. We are also the founders of They Draw & Cook and They Draw & Travel, the internet's largest collection of illustrated recipes and maps from artists around the world. While Nate likes to draw maps, bike, travel and drink good coffee I like to draw food, hike, hangout in my studio and drink good coffee. Nate and I don't live in the same state so we keep our business going through lots of caffeinated video chats. We are both inspired every single day by the amazing recipes and maps submitted to our sites from creative artists all around the globe. At any given time we each have a variety of assignments on our desk and notes for new book ideas scattered around! My studio is colorfully creative and adorned with artwork from friends, family and artists I've met. There is always a cat (or 5) hanging out with me. It's a bit more quiet here now that my boys are grown and moved on, I miss their daily chatter and laughter.
