Arthur Lin is an artist based in San Francisco drawn by the storytelling of Sunday comics and various childrens books. He received his masters degree in illustration in 2010 and has been drawing books ever since. As a brand-new father he was fortunate to capture the funny interactions between his newborn and dog which provided a lot of inspiration for this story.
