Tyler Brown
ARTIST-DESIGNER, HUSBAND + DAD

I’m an artist and digital creative focused on comics, illustration, and visual storytelling. I enjoy creating offbeat characters, unconventional ideas, and anything that feels a little unexpected.

I’m interested in how images carry a story, whether that’s a single illustration, a sequence of panels, or a chaotic page packed with moments. I’ve been working professionally in design and digital media since 2015, and in my current role with Fargo Public Schools I design visuals and manage websites that support communication and IT services across the district.

Outside of work, I enjoy life with my wife, two boys, and our crazy dog. When I’m not sketching new ideas, you might find me hunting for books, comics, and action figures to add to my ever-growing hoard, studying the artistry of cartoons and animated films, or trying to keep up with my family on hikes, trips, or the ever-chaotic sidelines of youth sports.
