Welcome to my website!
My name is Freddie Levin.
I am an artist, an illustrator, a writer and a teacher.
I live in Chicago and share my sunny studio
with two noisy, colorful birds
and a fish named Seabiscuit.
I have illustrated picture books, readers, workbooks, greeting cards and game boards. I am the author/illustrator of an award winning series called 1 2 3 Draw. Over a million and a half copies have been sold worldwide.

My new curriculum-based series is
Draw Plus: Art Activities That Enhance Math and Science Learning.
My licensing company, Polkadot Pie, produces images for paper goods, greeting cards, holiday decorations, home decor, stickers, window clings, puzzles and much, much more.
I also love to make puppets, tiny stages and fine giclee prints. Besides art, I am also interested in ballet, yoga, gardens, birds, and anything with frosting.
I am exploring botanical illustration at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. Please see my blog for all my new work.
