Victor Wong is an award-winning illustrator residing near Toronto. His illustration style is bright, colorful, graphic and utilizes bold shapes. Growing up in rural Nova Scotia sparked Victor's passion for drawing and doodling. He was inspired by weekly comic store visits with his dad, early morning cartoons and ridiculous storytelling with action figures. Not much has changed since then; he still loves drawing superheroes and animals. When he's not illustrating, Victor enjoys kayaking, photography, building things, mystery novels and well-put-together poke bowls.
