Zach Schoettler is a Baltimore-based artist. After over ten years of owning and operating the restaurant Jack and Zach Foods in Mount Vernon, Zach put aside his chef hat and once again picked up his fountain pen. Chances are, if you ever came to the restaurant or bought eggs at the Waverly Farmers Market, he remembers what you ordered.
Zach has always loved drawing - and credits his love of animals, playing music, farming, vegetables, and the great outdoors as sources of his inspiration. His work focuses on themes of play, imaginary worlds, systems and machines, natural wonders, and the everyday turned magical.
When Zach is not drawing, he can be found doing one of the many activities that inspire his illustrations - fishing, taking long walks in the woods, cooking, losing at gin rummy, and making fun of his perfectly normal-sized dog, Minnow.
