Timeline

1965

Brett L. Helquist (born November 1965) is an American illustrator best known for his work in the children's book series A Series of Unfortunate Events.

As such, his illustrations for that series have appeared in multiple media, including the books, the audio book covers, and the calendars.

Helquist was born in Ganado, Arizona, in 1965, and grew up in Orem, Utah, with his six sisters.

His love of art and his desire to become an illustrator came from reading comic strips in newspapers as a child.

1993

Helquist graduated from Brigham Young University (BYU) with a BFA in illustration in 1993.

After graduation, he moved to New York City where he worked full-time as a graphic designer, occasionally drawing for newspapers and magazines.

Helquist's work has been featured in children's magazines, along with The New York Times.

He has illustrated almost 50 books.

Helquist served as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Hong Kong, then earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts from Brigham Young University in 1993.

Prior to entering the illustration program at BYU, Helquist studied as an engineering student.

He took a year off during his time as a student to take a job in Taiwan where he illustrated a textbook.

This experience helped him make the decision to switch to illustration and the visual arts.

From there, he worked closely with Utah artist and BYU professor of illustration Robert Barrett.

Helquist has lived in New York City since 1993.

Immediately after graduating from BYU, Helquist was an intern for illustrator Robert Neubecker.

For six years, he worked as a graphic designer, drawing for magazines and newspapers in his spare time.

He has been published in the children's magazine Cricket, and in The New York Times.

He is represented by Steven Malk of Writers House in New York City.

In 2011, it was announced that Helquist would be producing images for a new edition of the infamous Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series by Alvin Schwartz.

The series was beloved for its terrifying artwork by Stephen Gammell, which caused universal backlash against Helquist's comparatively tame illustrations.

2017

The new release proved overwhelmingly unsuccessful, and in 2017 subsequent printings restored Gammell's illustrations.

In August 2017, Helquist donated several boxes filled with early sketches of his illustrations for A Series of Unfortunate Events to BYU's Special Collections department.

These sketches were displayed at BYU until the end of September 2017.
