Born and raised in the wilds of North Florida, Andre Frattino has spent his entire life spinning stories against the backdrop of "the land of flowers." After completing his Bachelor's in Sequential Art from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Andre returned to his home state in 2011. There he went on to work as a staff cartoonist for The Independent Florida Alligator, on the popular "Son of a Gator" comic strip while earning his Master's in Art Education at the University of Florida. A history buff, art educator, and lover of Florida flora and fauna, Andre is a proponent of using the graphic novel form to share history and inspire next generations. Andre currently lives in Savannah, Georgia, and splits his time between his duties of being a graphic novelist and conducting ghost tours in the historic coastal empire.
