Jordan Crane lives in Los Angeles in a fog made out of wood and bent pipe. He grew up in Long Beach, California. Warning signs of his renaissance-man abilities were evident in his sojourn at his college newspaper, the Daily Trojan, at the University of Southern California, where he functioned at various times as a cartoonist, art director and columnist (in his little spare time from his engineering studies).
Crane went on to publish both his own and other people’s comics through his press, Red Ink, and edit and design the ambitious anthology NON (which won several AIGA 365 awards), among other projects (which included silk-screening and a record label). His current Fantagraphics work consists of the semi-regular solo comic Uptight, of which the third issue is slated for release in Fall of 2008. Crane resides in Los Angeles, California, with his wife and two daughters.
