Nathaniel P. Jensen loved to draw when he was a little boy. He always said he wanted to be an artist when he grew up, but he never wanted to do it for a living. Still, since graduating from the University of Texas in 1991 he's done nothing but work for a living as an artist. He's created massive murals and oil paintings, developed animated movies and music videos, and designed and illustrated everything from brochures to books.

He lives in Austin, Texas with his wife Cassandra, and their young son Mason, who has already begun to inspire future projects.
