Sylvia Baber is a Brooklyn-based artist who works for public television when she's not daydreaming up new adventures for Pedro the Frog.

Sylvia's goals for Pedro are to create "picture books for adults" starring Pedro and his friends, including the upcoming “Pedro Cleans Out His Junk Closet, Like That But a Title That Doesn’t Suck” (working title, Fall 2020).

Pedro began life as a satin frog impulse-purchased by Sylvia's high school bestie at a boutique gift shop, probably while they were skipping Orchestra. He was christened Pedro, and soon The Adventures of Pedro the Pirate Frog (illustrations by Sylvia, and he was big into piratry back then) became a staple of sophomore Calculus class. No, Sylvia was “not the strongest student.”

Pedro went on to explore themes of contemporary cartoonistry in the margins of class notes throughout Sylvia’s undergraduate/grad experience (with a groundbreaking side-journey across a series of birthday cards and ‘hey I left a mess in the sink’ post-its between 1999 and 2009).

Pedro finally burst onto the digital scene in 2011 and was quickly recognized as a “fresh new voice in American visual Internet-tomfoolery” (The Washington Post).* Pedro has since been a dynamic* internet presence to his many, many* fans on PedroTheFrog.com and IG: @frogpedro.
