Gordon Dean Griffiths (Victoria, B.C.) realized his love for drawing very early in life. At the age of 12, halfway through a comic book, Dean decided that he wanted to become a comic book artist and spent every spare minute of the next few years perfecting his art. In 1995 Dean illustrated his first children's book, The Patchwork House, written by Sally Fitz-Gibbon. Since then he has happily illustrated over 14 books for young people and is currently working on several more, including the Canadian Flyer series.
