Justin Gibbens was trained in both scientific illustration and traditional Chinese painting–a skill set that he employs in his subversive zoological drawings.  He credits his work to countless hours spent watching David Attenborough documentaries, and an unhealthy interest in all things that scamper and poke about in the thickets and undergrowth. He is a founding member of PUNCH Gallery, an artist-run gallery located in Seattle, WA. He lives in Thorp, Washington.  Please visit www.justingibbens.com

Justin’s work appears in issue #4.
