GARY DUMM

I have loved cartoons and comics ever since I was a child. My mom taught me to read using comics as well as books.And I learned that I could get attention from other kids in grade school by showing them my drawings. Later, in high school, I found that was also a way to draw attention from girls. The practice of drawing is who I am.Combining words with pictures is a challenging but fun way to make a living. I have worked with a lot of talented writers, but especially Harvey Pekar on his autobiographical comic series “American Splendor” and Scott MacGregor on our graphic novel “Fire On The Water.” They’ve inspired me to hone my craft everyday.Telling a story with art is what I aim to do with every image I’ve created. Presently I am working with my wife Laura on our series of large and colorful environmental and socio-political paintings. But I will forever continue to work on comics in glorious black-and-white
