Joshua Reid Mirman . . .

Attended and graduated the School of Visual Arts with an emphasis on Illustration. Hooray!

Finds joy in telling visual stories, and would like to make the world smile just a little bit more with humor or meaningful messages.

Would prefer happiness over fame and success.

Grew up in Long Island. Found it boring.

Wants to travel the world and become culturally diverse in knowledge, to help broaden the mind.

Is left handed.

Currently freelancing in New York City.
