About Me

a brief interview

Me CartoonQ: How long have you been a cartoonist?

A: I started drawing cartoons as a little kid and over the next few years really started to hone my skills – particularly so during math classes.

Q: When did it become a career?

A: Well, for the past 14 years or so I’ve been working as a graphic designer and professional cartoonist. I had some of my first paying jobs when I was 10 years old. My work has been published in magazines, newsletters, books, trade publications, newspapers and on the web. I also do a bit of animation now and again and freelance as a storyboard artist.

Q: Why do you love cartoons?

A: Because they’re magical. Whether funny, cute or cuddly, they have the amazing power to make people smile just by looking at them.

Q: Awwww.

(Josh blushes.)

Q: And what are you up to now?

A: In addition to constantly drawing and selling cartoons, I am living in Manhattan and developing projects for both film and theatre.
