Connor Owens grew up on Long Island, New York, where he spent most of his childhood in his art room drawing, writing, and sculpting which started from a very young age. In 2017, Connor graduated from the Douglas Education Center located in Pennsylvania and was enrolled in the Tom Savini's Special Makeup Effects Program. In school is where he learned about monster and creature concept design which really fueled his creative interest in the fantasy/scifi world. He also took a course in compelling storytelling using a combination of sculpting and digital programs. His experience in school was his inspiration in writing The Adventures of Abby and Friend. Connor is back on Long Island, living with his family, and is currently writing his second book to this series.
