 Brian Biggs was born in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1968, the son of a mystical one-armed sailor with secret powers and a Portuguese train bandit. He grew up mostly in Pasadena, Texas, where he learned to talk to cows. He went to college in New York City at Parsons School of Design with the mistaken notion that he would be a magazine art director. Later, after spending some time in Paris France and San Francisco, California, he realized that he was not cut out for regular jobs like that. Brian now lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he spends most of his time between working in his art-laboratory, teaching illustration
at The University of the Arts, and hanging out with his two kids (who are magical raccoons and know how to fly).

 After growing up in Michigan, a 25 year old Jeffrey Brown moved to Chicago in 2000 to pursue an MFA at the School of the Art Institute. By the time he finished his studies, he had abandoned painting and started drawing comics seriously. His first self-published book, Clumsy, appeared seemingly out of nowhere to grab attention from both cartoonists and comics fans. Established as an overly sensitive chronicler of bittersweet adolescent romance and nonsense superhero parody, Brown's current direction remains autobiographical, now examining the minutae of everyday life, the meaning
behind our common experiences, and why it's all kind of funny if you think about it.
His works include Clumsy, Unlikely, AEIOU, Be A Man, Bighead, I Am Going To Be Small, Minisulk, and Every Girl is the End of the World For Me. He's also appeared in a host of antholgies from McSweeney's to the Drawn & Quarterly Showcase, as well as local newspapers such as the Chicago Reader and NewCity. Brown has been featured on NPR's 'This American Life' and even created a short animated music video for the band Death Cab For Cutie. Future work includes a continuing mix of autobiography, gags, satire and parodies, inlcuding The Incredible Change-Bots. You can write to him at: PO Box 120, Deerfield IL 60015-0120, USA.
