Author: Matt Furie

Matt Furie was born in Columbus, Ohio in 1979 and graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware in 2001. He's currently based in Los Angeles. Matt Furie’s art comes from a mix of child-like enchantment and momentary adult situations. His self proclaimed “children’s book illustrations for adults” combines traditional and modern mark-making for his ripe, cartoon-inspired characters. He has exhibited extensively in the USA and Europe, his comic book series “Boy’s Club” is published by Fantagraphics. In 2012 McSweeney’s published Matt’s first children’s book, ‘The Night Riders’, a wordless tale about the adventures of two best friends, a frog and a rat. (Photo credit: 2016 Betty Udesen.)
