Phillip Ginn

Appearing Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

Phillip Ginn is an illustrator and writer from Sacramento, California, currently based in the Bay Area. He has had a wide and varied career in the independent world, working with various writers to produce covers and interiors in addition to his own fan-favorite art and books. Fans from all over are fascinated with his traditionally-created art and his originals hang in the homes of many art lovers and collectors. He developed a love for newspaper strips at an early age, with Charles Schulz’s Peanuts being his first formative influence. Then came Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes, his dad’s old childhood comics, and the 1989 Batman movie along with contemporary comics and manga. Then, narrative and conceptual illustrators and fine artists caught his eye.

Phillip avoids reality by playing pretend with ink, watercolor, gouache, words, and whatever other friends want to play. He puts his imaginative adventures down on actual, real paper with atmosphere, allegory, fantasy, and playfulness. He has collaborated with several creators, providing covers, illustrations, typography, and other creative consultations.

He is also the creator of AllTheRavens.com, a lifestyle brand offering clothing, drinkware, and accessories that pairs illustrations of ravens with different fun personalities.

Phillip would also not hesitate to be a stowaway in the TARDIS. His bags are already packed.
