Joshua Rosen was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, where he spent much of his youth occupied with the important tasks of reading books and playing with action figures. He received his undergraduate degree at McMaster University, double-majoring in Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature, and a Master of Fine Arts from the Center for Cartoon Studies, being the first Canadian to graduate from the program.
He maintained a regularly updating webcomic from 2005 to 2008 and has been self-publishing mini comics since 2006, some of which are available to purchase here. He enjoys horror movies, depressing Russian novels, and soy sauce.
