“I am a Canadian illustrator who grew up on the Prairies (Calgary, Alberta).Currently, I live in Brooklyn, NY, where I share an irritating railroad apartment with Sam Weber. In addition to my editorial illustration work, I dabble in comics; Skim, a graphic novel co-created with my cousin Mariko Tamaki, will be released in March 2008. This winter marked my first semester teaching in the Illustration Department of the New School in NYC.“
