Mr. Schanilec is the proprietor of the press Midnight Paper Sales, located in Stockholm, Wisconsin. He earned a BS from the University of North Dakota. His early career was spent in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul in Minnesota, illustrating books of small press poetry. In 1981 he began printing books and established his own imprint, Midnight Paper Sales. Mr. Schanilec has used traditional wood-engraving processes to create illustrations for hundreds of works. His works are largely focused on the intersection of science and art, and reflect his abiding interest in ecology, natural history, and landscape. Mr. Schanilec is the winner of many awards and honors. He is the three-time winner of the Judge's Choice Award at the Oxford Book Fair for Mayflies of the Driftless Region (2005), Lac des Pleurs (2015); and, American Crow (2022). He was the winner of the Carl Hertzog Award (2006) for Mayflies of the Driftless Region ; the Gregynog Prize (2007) for his book Sylvae ; the John Burroughs Literary Riverby Award (2020) for his book My Mighty Journey ; and others. He has lectured at the Book Club of California, the St. Bride Printing Museum in London, the Grolier Club, and the J. P. Morgan Library in New York, among other locations. His work has been featured in The New York Times , and he has been granted many fellowships and residencies. His works are held by many of the most important institutions and corporations in the world, including the Bodleian Library, The British National Art Library; UCLA; Columbia University; The Grolier Club; IBM Corporation; 3M Corporation; John Paul Getty Museum; the Lilly Library; the Huntington Library, Minneapolis Institute of Art; J. P. Morgan Library; Newberry Library; New York Public Library; Rhode Island School of Design; Stanford University; Texas A & M University; Library of Congress; the Victoria & Albert Museum; the Walker Art Center; Harvard University, and Yale University, among many others.
