Like many kids, C.D. Jouzdani didn’t enjoy the idea of growing up, so he simply refused to do so…or at least he tried. From drawing comic strips on the bus in grade school to pursuing degrees in English and Film, much of his work is rooted in character, and attempts to examine the quiet moments that connect us. Those rooted in happiness, humility, frustration, longing, and all of the humor that sits in between.

Jouzdani’s approach is simple, but detailed, with an emphasis on both color and texture. His artwork continues to be inspired by the comics he idolized as a kid, such as Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes, Charles Schulz’s Peanuts, and Jeff Smith’s Bone series, combined with stylistic influences from a childhood filled with Nickelodeon, Nintendo, and nature.

C.D. currently resides just outside of Denver, Colorado with his beautiful wife and their two sassy, lovable dogs.
