Andrew McDonough is a creator, writer, and illustrator whose storytelling began with a simple talent for drawing sheep. As a young Bible college student, he was asked to deliver a children's talk and, using overhead projector film, created the story of Cecil. The positive reception led him to continue developing these visual narratives for diverse audiences. Before dedicating himself to Lost Sheep, McDonough served as a pastor at WestCare, an inner-city mission focused on the homeless, addiction recovery, and refugee advocacy. He remains involved with WestCare and aims for his stories to inspire a generation dedicated to caring for the poor through their faith.
