General info

Toronto, Canada

I'm an illustrator residing in Toronto, Canada. I graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design where I went through their interdisciplinary program. My recent focus has been on apparel design. I have seven designs printed at Threadless.com, an upcoming print on Shirt Woot.com and a print on AntiClothes.com Some of my freelance clients are: Protest The Hero, LIFT, Urban Trends Trading BV, pelle pelle, The Appleseed Cast, Deep Elm Records.

I also have twelve designs now available as prints at Thumbtack Press (see below under heading "Prints").

I'm involved in many creative pursuits but have a particular interest in children's book illustration. I'm collaborating with my brother Eric on a project entitled "Ten Magical Menageries" and it will be based on our popular work on Threadless (please see "Ten Magical Menageries" set in my portfolio). We are also collaborating with the amazing comic artist Joe Carr to adapt one of our screenplays into a graphic novel.

On Threadless and various other sites I usually go by the user name "igo2cairo".

Experience

  • tee-shirt designer
    Chicago, USA
    Threadless

    Threadless is a wonderful place that has allowed me to expand my skill-set as an artist and has provided me with a forum to display my work and get valuable feed-back. It's also a supportive community where I have made many good friends with fellow artists from around the world. My user name on Threadless is "igo2cairo".

    I'm a proud member of the Threadless Alumni Club and currently have seven prints for sale. I also have the honour of working on an up-coming Select design which should be up for sale in the coming months.

  • screenplay writer
    8899 Beverly Blvd. Los Angeles USA
    The Chasin Agency

    I've co-written three screenplays with my two brothers, Eric and Devin Fan and we have in turn co-written a sci-fi screenplay entitled "Unknown" with the noted screenplay writer Dan O'Bannon ("Alien", "Total Recall").

    During this time our literary agent was Scott Penney and we worked on and off with him in the past for ten years or so. He's now retired and we're currently seeking new representation.

    Our latest project is collaborating with the amazing artist Joe Carr to adapt one of our screenplays into graphic novel form.

Prints


  • Thumbtack Press

    I'm proud to announce that I currently have 12 of my designs available as prints at Thumbtack Press. They are very selective about what they print so it's an hnour to be part of a such a talented roster of artists.

    The prices are very reasonable (from $24.99 to $34.99) and every print from Thumbtack Press is a gallery quality print on heavy bright white stock. They use only archival inks utilizing a professional giclée process. The final print is trimmed to size, protected in an acid-free poly cover, and shipped flat in a reinforced box.

Education

  • General Studies
    100 McCaul St. Toronto, Canada
    OCAD

    I've had a very diverse education which has included training in illustration, design, sculpture, art history, photography and film. This has given me a lot to draw on and I'm very thankful I've had the opportunity to learn in such a vibrant and world-class institution.
