About Chris
Chris is an illustrator, animator, and educator. He grew up in Hawaii, South Korea, and California, and studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. After graduating in 2010, he animated television shows for Comedy Central, Disney, and Cartoon Network for 3 years, then started his career as an illustrator.
Chris’ illustration style incorporates bold lines and colors, a cartoony look reminiscent of the Saturday morning cartoons he grew up watching, and most importantly, a cheeky sense of humor.
Outside of illustration, Chris loves the great outdoors and is an avid long distance runner. He currently lives in Portland, Oregon with his Fiancé Eva, and their dog and two cats, Louie, Freyja, and Yoko.
