Joshua M. Allen is a self-taught artist, designer, and illustrator. As soon as he was able to hold a crayon, he began to put pictures to stories, and stories to pictures. Monsters, aliens, superheroes, and robots covered page after page. He would sketch until his folders were full, and then throw them away to start again. In this way, his art was ever-changing and impermanent. It still is, and he hopes to be able fill paper with scribbles for the rest of his life.
