About the Artist

I'm Larson, a web developer by day and cartoonist by night. My work history includes being a production manager for a print magazines (wrangling writers and compiling the final print document), a web marketing manager (graphic design, illustrations, SEO and social media management), a picture book illustrator, and doing a lot of programming. Like I pay bills with programming. It's weird. I market myself as a programmer with a design and art background.

Work I can point to elsewhere online include my contribution to issue 10 of the Swim On charity zine, edited and produced by Jey Pawlik, that benefits finfree.org and my comic series Slumberland Nap is published in Fodongo: A Free Culture Comic Zine edited and put together by Emiliano “Jectoons” Carrasco.

Is my content all ages?

Short Answer: No

Long Answer: I'm not actively making content for kids. My funny animal series probably doesn’t have anything in it that would to much to for a kid to handle but I’m not writing it with them in mind. My work in general is a "make the content you want to see" situation. Presumably my audience is people who want something with vaguely 80s/90s nostalgia energy to it.
