Len Peralta is a Cleveland-area illustrator, cartoonist, graphic recorder, and all-around creative force with over 30 years of professional work spanning editorial illustration, game design, comic books, children's books, live graphic recording, and everything in between.

You can find Len Peralta's quirky, offbeat style in comic books, card games, on t-shirts, posters, and scattered across the internet like the world's most charming digital invasive species. He's worked with Discovery Channel, Warner Bros., Steve Jackson Games, Boom! Studios, Rifftrax, and Noggin, and illustrated books with folks like MST3K's Trace Beaulieu and Rifftrax's Bill Corbett. His graphic novel series Exterminite (with Mikey Neumann and Kris Straub) was flagged as a hot Hollywood property, which is the nicest thing anyone has ever said about anything he's made.

His work has appeared on CNN, The New Yorker, and at gallery exhibitions in Chicago, Cleveland, New York, Hawaii, and San Diego Comic-Con. Wired Magazine once called him one of the Top 100 Geeks to Follow, a title he still mentions at every possible opportunity.

Len is a working artist - emphasis on working, emphasis on artist - and a vocal advocate for human-made art in an age when "good enough and free" is starting to eat the table. Every piece is hand-drawn, hand-imagined, and made the slow way on purpose. He has taught digital art, comics, and graphic design at the Cleveland Institute of Art, serves as Lead Graphic Recorder for The Sketch Effect, and draws a live original illustration every week on Tom Merritt's Daily Tech News Show, which is either performance art or just his Thursday.

He's been podcasting since 2005 with Jawbone Radio - one of the first podcasts in the country - because apparently he has never once thought "this is probably enough." He lives in suburban Cleveland with his wife Nora. He's hirable, easy to work with (he promises), and would genuinely love to make something with actual human hands for your next project.
