Cole Lemke grew up in a small village called Seascape, located in Aptos, California. Cole spent most of his younger years with a pen and sketchbook, creating doodles heavily influenced by skate art, cartoons, comics, classic video game characters, and graffiti. In 2009, he graduated from the Art Institute of Portland with a BFA, studying 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation. However, after a short time in the video game industry, he return to his roots and self taught methods that revolve around his love for ink and drawing, working on personal art projects and with great companies such as Cisco Systems Inc., Hot Topic, California Roots Music and Art Festival, Squaw Valley USA (home of the 1960 Olympics), Creature Skateboards, The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Shirt.Woot! (an Amazon owned company), MERGE4, San Diego Zoo and many more. In 2015, Cole started his own company called Chump Magic, following the dream of crafting his goofy, silly ideas and turning his personal creations into various goodies. If you are looking for a fun read with lots of giggles, check out Cole’s b-horror, dark comedy, action/adventure, sci-fi graphic novel, SAVIOR: The Day the Devil Saved the World.
