Name: Michael Laughead
Age: 29
Born: Moline, Illinois USA
Lives: Kalamazoo, Michigan USA
Job: Illustrator and Comic Book maker.
Hobbies: Reading, movie watching and cleaning up after my daughter Eva.

Currently I illustrate for teen and children's magazines, design tee shirts and posters and I write and draw comics. I got my BFA in Art with an emphasis in Illustration from Brigham Young University - Idaho. I also met my wife there. (She's still the best thing I got out of school).

Before going to college, I was a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for two years in the north-western part Argentina. While there I learned Spanish and not to be afraid to ask total strangers to change their lives.

I grew up in Iowa with two brothers and two sisters. Most of us showed some interest in art, but I'm the only one to try to make a living at it.

In the picture you can see the actual color of my living room wall... kinda gross huh? (I've painted it since).
