Aneurin Wright

The son of an unholy union between a west Texan architect and a London writer, Nye (Aneurin) Wright was born in the wilds of rural Idaho, in the northwest of the United States. He earned a BA in English Literature from Yale and a BFA in Illustration and Communication Design from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York.

His work has been described as 'stunning' (iComics.com), 'marvelous, emotional.... It succeeds because it's real' (comicswaitingroom.com). His first book, Lex Talionis: A Jungle Tale, published in 2004 by the third largest US comics publisher, Image Comics, had critics saying 'Wright is an amazing talent' (Tony Isabella).

Beyond comics, Wright works as a freelance illustrator and animator for a host of clients. He was the lead animator and animation director for the 'Short History of the United States' Cartoon Sequence in Michael Moore's Academy Award winning documentary, Bowling for Columbine, although he didn't see Mr. Moore take the award because he was out getting Mexican Take Out food.

A wandering nature and dual citizenship forced him to move to London in October of 2006.
