About Todd Borka:

A French illustrator working for both youth literature and magazines, Todd likes mixing the aesthetic of indian ink with the multiplicity of possibilities offered by image editing software.

He says he spends most of his time in front of his screen hacking Photoshop... So, obviously, sometimes, it turns him crazy! I think it makes him creative.
