Gavin Aung Than is obsessed with comics, first while reading them as a kid and now living his dream by making them for a profession. He is best known for his webcomic series Zen Pencils, where he adapted quotes, poems and book passages into fun and inspirational comic strips. The site was a perfect combination of Gavin’s love of history, science, literature, martial arts and monsters. The Zen Pencils book collections, published by Andrews McMeel, were NYT bestsellers. Gavin also loves to draw action adventure comics for kids, as seen in his current Super Sidekicks graphic novel series (published by Random House Children’s Books).
Gavin is Australian with Burmese heritage and lives in Perth, Western Australia (one of the most isolated cities in the world!). From Gav: "I specialise in adapting difficult and adult concepts into fun and relatable comics. I also love drawing kid-friendly adventure stories that combine action, humour and heart."
