About Michael Cho
About Michael Cho
Born in Seoul, South Korea, Michael Cho immigrated to Canada at the tender age of 6 years old. There, he continued his lifelong practice of drawing on whatever surface he could find. A graduate of the Ontario College of Art (before it added the 'and Design' part), Michael now divides his time between freelancing on illustration assignments and drawing comics (preferably ones he writes himself). He's been the recipient of a couple of Canadian National Magazine Award nominations, finally winning a Silver in 2007. Shockingly for a freelancer and comic-geek, Michael does not own any expensive designer toys. He currently lives and works in Toronto, Ontario, having recently moved into a nice house with his lovely wife and daughter.
Clients include: The New York Times, National Post, Boston Globe, Washington Post, the Village Voice, Billboard, Scientific American, Boston Magazine, Toronto Life, Random House, Penguin Classics, Marvel and DC Comics.
Michael is represented by Gerald and Cullen Rapp.
