Note: There are more than one David Petersen on GR's database. For catch-all profile, see here (dissambiguated via 7 spaces). David Petersen was born in 1977. His artistic career soon followed. A steady diet of cartoons, comics, and tree climbing fed his imagination and is what still inspires his work today. David won the 2007 Russ Manning Award for Most Promising Newcomer. In 2008, David won the Eisners for Best Publication for Kids (Mouse Guard Fall 1152 & Winter 1152) and Best Graphic Album – Reprint (Mouse Guard Fall 1152 Hardcover). He is the creator of the Mouse Guard series and is excited to be working on projects he dearly loves doing. David and his wife Julia reside in Michigan with their dog Autumn.
It's a curious thing to have to write about one's self, but we'll try to get through this without too much gnashing of the teeth. I grew up in Northern California where my father studies venoms, insects and other odd creatures. As such, most family vacations were spent in the wilderness, often hunting for previously said creatures and their venoms. I've lived a number of places around the world including, but not limited to Australia (Home of many venomous creatures.) and England (Home of not so many venomous creatures.). Eventually these wanderings came to a halt for a time making my mother quite happy and I studied landscape architecture at UC Berkeley. This led to studying film design at the American Film Institute and a lot of subsequent work filming things. Among the things, which have not been filmed, are two younger siblings; a sister who solves quite involved math problems and a brother who studies the insects, which live in streams. Neither them nor I have a pet raccoon, but if we did it would be like Missy. Presently I live in Hollywood where I drink tea and design films when I'm not writing graphic novels. You might have heard of some of the films I've designed, including You're Next, All The Boys Love Mandy Lane, and V/H/S 2. An Aurora Grimeon Story: Will O' the Wisp is my first graphic novel and the first graphic novel of my awesome artist Megan Hutchison. I don't eat mushrooms I can't identify.
