welcome to the world of ickybugman!
On this website you can learn about me, children's book illustrator, Ralph Masiello, and my unique occupation, through my artwork, books, visits to schools, and life experiences. You can see what goes into making an illustration and even get to preview new books before they are published! 

This one is a "Fiery" hit!

My newest book!

Hi All!

I have a new website being built right now. My wife, Stephanie, has been redesigning the entire site from the bottom up! There will be loads of new things to see and download. I am phasing out the name "IckyBugMan" as it doesn't relate to the work I am currently doing. The new site will be more about my "how to draw" book series as well as the art from the "Mystic Phyles" book series.

You can check out the progess of the new site at: www.ralphmasiello.com




watch me create an illustration!
Play the slide show to see one of my illustrations from some rough sketches to the final illustration for a book!
