About Me
My name is J.J., which is what everyone has always called
me. I was born on July 17, 1984 in Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada. When I was five years old my family moved to the suburb
city of Coquitlam, BC where I live to this day.
I hold a degree in political science from
Simon Fraser University and I currently work as an editor
of two different college newspapers simultaniously.
I have been drawing cartoons every since
I was a small child. I only really became interested in political
cartooning in my final years of highschool; I was heavily
inspired by the work of the brilliant San Francisco cartoonist
Don
Asmussen. I originally started Filibuster as a project
in my grade 12 marketing class; we were learning how to make
self-promotional websites.
Ideologically I guess I am basically conservative,
though I like to think of myself more as a political eccentric.
Cartoonists are more interesting when they're not rigid partisans.
I am very interested in foreign affairs, you'll probably notice
a lot of that reflected in my cartoons. I also care very deeply
about the future of Canadian-American relations. People often
praise me for not being anti-American, because that seems
to be an all-too-common characteristic among Canadians satirists.
I honestly believe that institutionalized Canadian anti-Americanism
is the root cause of most problems with this country.
Along with being pro-American, I see myself
as being strongly anti-elite and anti-tradition. This is why
I get so passionate about topics like the British monarchy,
as any of my friends can confirm.
My cartoons have been published in a few
publications over the years. My biggest client was the now-defunct
Western Standard,
which at one time was a conservative politics magazine out
of Alberta. Today I'm run in the Tri-City
News, a local community newspaper that serves the
cities of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody. Some
of my work from this site has also been published in two books,
which you can see in the "Store"
section.
Along with politics and cartoons, I love video games, candy,
musical
theater, and traveling
to foreign places.
