Simon Gärdenfors was born in 1978 and lives in Sweden. He has published three graphic novels, in addition to several short works for the anthology Galago.

He’s also known as a radio/television presenter (hosting a 2008 miniseries on ZTV about “junk culture”) and as a rapper in hip-hop acts such as Las Palmas (with Calle Thörn) and Far & Son (with Frej Larsson of Slagsmålsklubben).
