About The Janimal
A self-proclaimed "Jersey tomato roasting in the Arizona sun," The Janimal is a graduate of Rutgers University's Mason Gross School of the Arts. Now residing in Northern Arizona with his family and two cats, he has showcased his fun, retro-inspired cartooning style at comic conventions from Phoenix Fan Fusion to New York Comic Con. He also serves as the acting president of the Northern Arizona Cartoonist Association (NAZCA).
For the past five years, The Janimal has delighted audiences at Verde Valley libraries and LibCons with his dynamic drawing demos and workshops. His work can be seen on Facebook (The Janimal Draws), Instagram (the janimaldraws) and Twitter (@janimaltweets).
The Writers in Residence program at YCFLD is supported by the Arizona State Library, Archives & Public Records, a division of the Secretary of State, with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
