Brian Devine

Brian Devine is lifelong artist and storyteller, obsessed with comics, superheroes, science fiction, and morning cartoons. Brian has been collaborating with his twin brother, Dave, since they were two comics-obsessed kids growing up in the 1980s suburbs of Philadelphia. Early on, Brian and Dave dreamed up their own epic stories, influenced by a shared love of superheroes, science fiction and Saturday morning cartoons.

Brian attended the College of William and Mary, where he was an illustrator and political cartoonist for The Flat Hat school newspaper. Following graduation, Brian committed to a career as an English teacher, track coach, and school administrator, before recently transitioning to a new profession as a family therapist.

Along the way, Brian has continued his artistic ventures by founding Cellar Sky Studio, to create and sell original landscape paintings and prints at local shops and online. Three years ago, Brian and Dave circled back to their childhood dreams and co-developed their debut YA graphic novel. 

Brian lives in Portland, OR where he loves to explore the Pacific Northwest with his wife, daughter and golden doodle.
