Article: Michael Deforge - The Awe & The Awfulness
Posted: October 27, 2013

Bodies just give you so much to work with - they’re always so pretty and goofy and awful, all at the same time.” Deforge, twenty-six, Ottawa-born and Toronto-based, juggles a “day job” as a commercial illustrator and a character, effects and props designer on the hit Cartoon Network animated series Adventure Time (2010-) with his prodigious, almost profligate authorial comics. Luckily, he doesn’t need much sleep and instead seems to purge the stuff of his waking dreams onto the page. He’ll even use the altered state of a 24-hour flu to draw an eight-page story which he will soon get Risographed into another limited edition collectible.
