Ed Briant
Adjunct Instructor
Ed Asher Briant grew up in England where he attended London's prestigious Saint Martins School of Art. He began his creative career producing cartoons and illustrations for newspapers and magazines.
In the 1990s he moved to New York, where he continued his career as an illustrator for the New Yorker, The New York Times, and many other publications. In 2003, he illustrated his first picture book, Paper Parade, and this led him to an interest in writing for children.
He writes and illustrates a weekly webcomic, Tales from the Slush Pile, for Publishers Weekly. He lives near Philadelphia with his wife, the author, Lisa Jahn-Clough.
