Biography
[edit | edit source]Foster studied fine and studio arts the University of Tennessee. He spent years in designing trade show graphics and, later, as an ad agency creative director.[6]
Foster was inspired to learn how to create 3D books after seeing his first pop-up book, Kees Moerbeek's Hot Pursuit: A Forward and Backward Pop-up Book and taught himself by reverse engineering published books. "I destroyed a lot of them trying to figure out how they were done," he said.[7]
He began a career designing pop-up books as a freelancer for Baltimore book children’s book packager Ottenheimer Publishers.[4]
