Vincent X. Kirsch is an artist, designer, toymaker and writer of books, film and television projects for people of all ages.

Mr. Kirsch’s first picture book Natalie & Naughtily was published in the fall of 2008 by BloomsburyUSA Publishing. His work has appeared in three recent Original Art Shows at the Society of Illustrators in New York City.

He has also published other books:
Two Little Boys From Toolittle Toys
Forsythia & Me
The Chandeliers
Freddie & Gingersnap
Freddie & Gingersnap Find A Cloud To Keep
Can You Find Pup?
How I Learned to Fall Out Of Trees
From Archie To Zack

As well as, illustrations for:
Noah Webster and His Words
Gingerbread for Liberty!
The Hole Story of the Doughnut
Extra Ezra

Mr. Kirsch got his start in advertising agencies specializing in Broadway and film accounts. He had been involved in things theatrical since his youth. He had minored in scenic design and filmmaking at Syracuse University. His scenic design work lead him the stages of the Williamstown Theatre Festival where he became an artist-in-residence under the nurturing gaze of Nikos Psacharapoulos. He designed sets and posters for seven summer seasons of the productions there.

At the same time he was designing and illustrating book jackets for such authors as Joyce Carol Oates, Luigi Barzini and F. Scott Fitzgerald. An accidental spilling of India ink on scratchboard resulted in a completely unusual, original black and white illustration style. The black and white, as well as color work, has continued to appear regularly on the pages of The New York Times Book Review & Op-Ed pages, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and a wide array of magazines.

Coincidentally, the work on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times landed Mr. Kirsch a three-year job designing and directing the windows of Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue. His work with mannequins and small window spaces lead to the creation of three-dimensional characters and revived a fascination with puppetry and Victorian toy theaters.

He has worked and experimented on these projects steadily since leaving Bergdorf Goodman in the mid-nineties.

Mr. Kirsch currently lives in Asheville, North Carolina.
