Cerulean Warbler by Don Carter aka Edgar Allan Slothman
Edgar Allan Slothman is the pop art persona of designer, illustrator, author, and award-winning creative director, Don Carter. The illustrator of seven picture books for children, Don has also created two Disney animated short-form animated series, Happy Monster Band and Dance-A-Lot-Robot.
A lifelong love of birds and illustration have most recently come together in his reimagining of Audubon’s Birds of America series in a simplified, graphic style. In 2022, Don began collaborating with baker-turned-watercolorist, Dora Dylanne Reyes. Dora’s unique concept was to incorporate her watercolor and digital desserts with Don’s Audubon prints. In 2021, Birds and Their Just Desserts / Let Them Eat Cake brought their work together in its first public exhibition. The Birds & Desserts series has since grown and is exhibited and sold in Connecticut and Massachusetts universities and galleries.
A graduate of Paier College of Art, Don is a creative director with Adams & Knight, a marketing agency based in Avon, Connecticut. In 2017, he was inducted into the Connecticut Art Directors Hall of Fame. Don lives in the beautiful Pioneer Valley area of Massachusetts.
