ABOUT
Arthur's Plaid Pants is the business name of illustrator Jen Husted-Goss.
I've been lucky enough to turn my childhood love of drawing into a full time career as an illustrator. I received my BFA from Eastern Michigan University with my concentration in graphic design.
After being a freelance graphic designer and then co-owner of a design firm in Chicago, I decided I wanted to branch out on my own and focus solely on my illustrations. I started Arthur's Plaid Pants in 2010. I started selling online and doing shows all over the midwest.
My business is named after my grandfather Art (Arthur) and the obnoxious plaid
polyester golf pants he loved to wear (he wasn’t a golfer).
In my spare time you can find me hiking, birding, raising monarchs, tending to my native garden and hanging with my partner Andy and our 2 rescue pups Freddie Mercury and Rilo.
I’m very passionate about animal welfare, the environment and sustainability. I’ve been happily vegan for 24 years.
