Tyler Parker is an illustrator/ukulele enthusiast currently residing in and around Seattle Washington. Having spent the greater part of his developmental years in a small town in the Adirondacks he departed in search of fame, fortune and old paperbacks. He received his BFA in illustration from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2007 before escaping to sail the usually figurative high seas. He completed his MA in Sequential Design and Illustration from the University of Brighton in October 2009. His favorite food combination is pretzels and ginger ale.
