Born in Seoul, South Korea, Michael Cho immigrated to Canada at the tender age of 6 years old. There, he continued his lifelong practice of drawing on whatever surface he could find. He first learned to draw by copying comic books with his pencil crayons, but later moved on to oil paints, ink and gouache. A graduate of the Ontario College of Art (before it added the ‘and Design’ part), Michael now divides his time between freelancing on illustration assignments and drawing comics (preferably ones he writes himself). He’s been the recipient of a couple of Canadian National Magazine Award nominations, finally winning a Silver in 2007. Shockingly for a freelancer and comic-geek, Michael does not own any expensive designer toys. He currently lives and works in Toronto, Ontario, in a nice apartment with his lovely wife and daughter.
