From Publishers Weekly:
McKie was born and grew up in Medford, Mass. He studied at Vesper George School of Art in Boston, and while a student there won a prestigious Prix de Rome award that afforded him a fellowship to study art in Rome. WWII prevented him from taking advantage of the prize and he instead pursued further art training at the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation in Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island.
McKie worked as a commercial artist for a studio in Boston and for N.W. Ayer & Son advertising agency in Philadelphia before working as a freelance illustrator in New York, and for a brief time in London...McKie provided artwork for several titles by Dr. Seuss/Theo. LeSieg in the late 1960s and early 1970s, many of them in the Beginner Books line, including My Book About Me, by Me Myself! (Random House/Beginner Books, 1969) and Ten Apples Up on Top! (Random House/Beginner Books, 1961).
