Aaron Leighton grew up in a small town on the Canadian prairies but was
drawn to the chaos and color of urban life in the big city. He
graduated in 1995 from the Alberta College of Art & Design in
Calgary, Alberta and has been working as an illustrator ever since.
Recently, he has also worked as the creative director and character
designer of an interactive animated project called The Zimmer Twins
which won an International Interactive Emmy award in 2007.
Combining a love of line and color with a fondness for tribal artwork,
cartoons, anthropomorphic objects and bugs, Aaron's work is both weird
and wonderful. He currently lives in Toronto. And loves it!
