edit data

Jason Zimdars is an artist and designer who has always loved to draw. He grew up immersed in stories of heroes and magic like The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, The Dark Crystal, and E.T. He always came home from the movies or the library to draw all the amazing characters and places he saw in his imagination.

When his friend, Brandon, told him about Prince Martin he knew he had to draw him and all his friends, too. He can’t wait to share more of Prince Martin’s adventures with you!

Jason lives in Oklahoma with his teenage daughter and two dogs, who aren’t nearly as brave as Sir Ray.
