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. For more useful information, here's an interview I did with Illustration Friday.
