American, b. 1975 A two-time Eisner Award winner and New York Times bestselling author, Jeffrey Brown is a definitive voice in contemporary comics. Holding an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Brown pioneered a raw, "sketchbook" aesthetic that brought a new level of vulnerability and honesty to the genre of graphic memoir. Brown first gained critical acclaim for groundbreaking autobiographical works such as Clumsy and Unlikely, which explored the awkward complexities of relationships with a minimalist charm. He later achieved global mainstream success with his "Vader and Son" series, reimagining the Star Wars universe through the lens of domestic parenting, as well as his middle-grade Lucy & Andy Neanderthal series. With work exhibited in galleries from New York to Paris, Brown continues to demonstrate a unique ability to find humor and profound human connection in both the mundane details of daily life and the icons of a galaxy far, far away.
