  <about><![CDATA[Jeffrey Brown was born in 1975 in Grand Rapids, Michigan and grew up reading comic books with dreams of someday drawing them, only to abandon them and focus on becoming a 'fine artist.' While earning his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Brown abandoned painting and began drawing comics with his first autobiographical book 'Clumsy' in 2001. Since then he's drawn a dozen books for publishers including TopShelf, Fantagraphics, Drawn &amp; Quarterly, McSweeney's and Chronicle Books. Simon &amp; Schuster published his latest graphic memoir  'Funny Misshapen Body.' In addition to directing an animated video for the band Death Cab For Cutie, Brown has had his work featured on NPR's 'This American Life' His art has been shown at galleries in New York, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles and Paris. Jeffrey's work has also appeared in the Best American Comics series and received the Ignatz Award in 2003 for 'Outstanding Minicomic.' 
He currently lives in Chicago with his partner Jennifer and their son Oscar.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Chris Ware, Julie Doucet, Marvel Comics, Moebius]]></influences>  <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Grand Rapids</hometown>  <born_at>07/17/1975</born_at>
