Tom Gauld (2015)

Tom Gauld (* 1976 in Aberdeen ) is a Scottish cartoonist and illustrator .

Gauld grew up in the rural north of Scotland and studied at the Edinburgh College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London . While still a student, he founded the Cabanon Press publishing house together with the graphic designer Simone Lia, with whom he also worked. He has published a weekly cartoon in The Guardian (since 2005) and New Scientist (since 2015) and regularly in The New Yorker and The New York Times . Parts of his work have been translated into Chinese, Danish, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Russian and Spanish. His work is characterized by a surprising meta-humor, a nested understanding of irony and a melancholy view of the world.

Gauld lives in London with his family.
