Birth name

Justin R. Gloyd

In case you were wondering, it's pronounced "gloid," like "Lloyd," but with a "G." Justin Gloyd is an author and cartoonist from Las Vegas, NV. Inspired by great cartoonists, writers, and artists (like Walt Disney, Genndy Tartakovsky, Charles Schulz, Doug TenNapel, and Mike Mignola, to name a few) he lives to create--new worlds to escape to, characters to relate to, stories to give into--he loves it all! Mainly focusing on a traditional and cartoon style, Gloyd uses his artwork to assist and accentuate his true passion: writing. After a long period of soul-searching, and relocating to the Pacific Northwest, Gloyd began to seriously pursue his passions for the sake of loving what he does. Rather than chasing a future career, he began chasing his childhood dreams. He was then approached by Pencilmation Animation Studios to begin story-boarding for their animated shorts. Gloyd lives with his little family in Seattle, WA.
