His early interest in drawing became apparent when he began creating his own depictions of his favourite comic books.  He and his wife Patricia live in Toronto, Ontario. Work Though he began his career as a commercial artist, he was later approached by Robert Munsch and Annick Press representatives to consider a career in children’s book illustrating after they saw his work at a graphic arts exhibition. He is now the go-to illustrator for Munsch books. In 1984, Michael began his artistic partnership with Allen Morgan, author of the “Matthew’s Midnight Adventure” series. It was not until 1990 that Martchenko first authored and illustrated his own book, Birdfeeder Banquet. His second self-authored and illustrated book, Ma, I’m a Farmer, was published in 2003. Aside from his passion for illustrating children’s books, Michael also has an interest in aviation and military art and history.
