Aaron LaShomb grew up in Ottawa, and spent a large amount of time skateboarding, drawing on the back of exams, and spreading graffiti throughout the city.
He attended Sheridan Collage, followed by Algonquin Collage for Animation, hoping to find a career that would allow him to draw every day.
After graduating he moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to begin working at an animation studio, planning to only stay a year. Over 11 years later he lives in Dartmouth Nova Scotia, with his wife and two children, where he continues to paint, draw, and skateboard.
