I was born on Long Island, NY on March 20th, 1975. Like many children of the late seventies, one of my biggest influences was Star Wars. I grew up reading comic books so it was just inevitable that I'd end up in the field.

I went to School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, where I majored in Graphic Design. During college I met Dave Roman, and we soon formed Cryptic Press, the company we publish our comics Quicken Forbidden and Teen Boat through. Upon graduating I became Assistant Art Director of the now defunct Penthouse Comix. Shortly after I went on to become the Comics Assistant at Disney Adventures Magazine. After a brief stint as an Assistant Editor, I went freelance. In addition to handling layout and production of the comics that appear in Disney Adventures, I write, color, and letter a number of them. On occassion I also do illustrations for Disney, as well as letter comics for Nickelodeon Magazine and other publications (see the FREELANCE section.)

I currently live in New York City with my fiancée, Marion Vitus. You can find out what I'm up to here or e-mail me at: johngreenart AT johngreenart DOT com.
