About Valentine’s Creators: Alex de Campi & Christine Larsen

Alex de Campi (left) and Christine Larsen (right)Originating from the Pine Barrens of central Jersey, Christine Larsen is a freelance illustrator by trade with a BFA in Illustration & Design from the University of the Arts, Philadelphia. She currently does work for some well and lesser known clients (both digital and print), including Zuda Comics, Ape Entertainment and Applehead Factory. In fall and spring, you will find her traipsing about the University of the Arts campus, where she teaches Foundation Illustration for freshmen and Sequential Format for juniors.She resides with her two cats in a heavily fortified apartment where she awaits the zombie apocolypse. If you’re terribly interested in the comings and goings of her life, you can find her on Facebook and Twitter, or read her interesting blog, where you will find sketches, project updates and other fun stuff.

Alex de Campi hails from the Delaware Valley, about 45 minutes southwest of where Christine grew up. They did not know each other before this project; it took a mutual facebook friend to put them in touch. Alex fell in with a bad crowd (yuppies) early in life, and under their pernicious influence ran off to be an investment banker in Hong Kong. After a number of rather startling adventures across the underbelly of South Asia, she found herself in London a decade later, and decided to clean up and get a more socially-acceptable career. She thus became a comic book writer. Her first graphic novel, Smoke, was nominated for an Eisner, and she has also written bande dessinée series for French publishers Humanoids, as well as girls’ manga series for Tokyopop.  She directs music videos and experimental films, which you may see here. She lives with her husband and their dog, The Celebrated Hound of England’s Lane, in an old piano factory in the South Bronx. She posts lolcats on twitter and facebook.
