About Brian Biggs
Brian Biggs was born in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1968, the son of a mystical one-armed sailor with secret powers and a Portuguese train bandit. He began drawing pictures immediately. At age eleven, he moved to Pasadena, Texas where he learned to talk to cows and watch football.
He went to college for one year in Denton, Texas, for two years in New York City, and for one other year in Paris, France. He graduated with a degree in Graphic Design in 1990, because he didn't realize at the time that drawing pictures was something he could do for a "job."
In 1993, Brian moved to San Francisco where after a few years as a graphic designer, he realized that he could draw pictures as a "job" and began doing so with gusto. He drew comic books and illustrations for magazines and he drew posters and made animations and eventually began drawing children's books. He moved to Philadelphia in 1999 and now lives in a big old house there with his two kids, his fiancée, his dog, and two cats that no one really claims but who seem to run things. Brian works out of a quiet old garage where he draws pictures, builds secret experimental jet-packs, and likes to make music in his spare time.
