Sherman, who works out of his studios in Boston and Truro, MA, spent almost five years illustrating The Random House Book of Greek Myths (1999), the first children’s anthology of myth to be produced in color. He likes to remind his RISD students that “it’s not so much what an illustration looks like, it’s what it feels like.”
