Robert Christie

Growing up on Long Island, Robert Christie spent most of his waking hours obsessively drawing anything and everything except cars. While taking cover from a lunchroom food fight, he met Deborah Lang and shortly thereafter they conspired to create Crutonia. Ever since they have been writing stories set in their quirky made-up world. After earning his BFA in St. Louis, MO he moved to Jersey City where he makes his living as an illustrator, painter and prop maker for major motion pictures, Broadway, and fashion photo shoots. He has been writing and further developing Crutonia with Deborah Lang for over three decades, and Quirk's Quest is their first (published) graphic novel.
