Farel Dalrymple is an American artist and alternative comics creator. He is best known for his award-winning comics series Pop Gun War.

Career

[edit]

Originally from Oklahoma "by way of California",[1] Dalrymple is one of the founders of the New York City-based Meathaus Collective. He attended New York's School of Visual Arts as an Illustration major[1] and has been creating comics since 1999.[2]

Dalrymple currently[when?] resides in Portland, Oregon, where he is working on the second volume of Pop Gun War, to be published by Dark Horse Comics, as well as illustrating the ten-issue series Omega the Unknown, written by author Jonathan Lethem and published by Marvel Comics. He describes his work style as "fourteen-hour workdays filled with ecstasy, torment, and procrastination."[2]

Awards

[edit]

Dalrymple has received several awards, including a Xeric Foundation grant,[2] a 2002 Society of Illustrators Gold Medal, and a Russ Manning Award nomination. An excerpt of Omega the Unknown was selected for the anthology Best American Comics 2010.[2]
