Ron Regé, Jr. Biography ( back ) Ron Regé, Jr. currently lives in Los Angeles where he plays drums in the band Lavender Diamond. His comics have appeared in McSweeney's, and his illustrations have appeared regularly in The New York Times and Canada's National Post. Regé creates his own visual poetry that sets him apart from other cartoonists as one of the most original artists to enter the medium in the past decade. His storytelling is neither linear nor altogether accessible; however, his recognizable thin line and cute characters draw you into a dreamlike, sensitive fantasy world that, as odd as it seems, is entirely realistic. copyright ©2010 drawn & quarterly
