Connor Barnum (b. 2005) is a lifelong, self-taught artist who lives in Lake Oswego. A prolific story-creator and teller, Connor works primarily as an illustrator creating drawings that represent scenes both existing and imagined. He combines characters, both original and from popular media, to develop unique stories which he represents in a distinctive comic book style. Connor is decisive and deliberate about his compositions and mark-making, often drawing a scene only once without drafting. Recently, Connor has been exploring the varied landscapes of Oregon. Connor is excited to continue telling stories as a member of North Pole Studio.
