Alison Acton

Alison Acton is a Canadian artist with a background in comics and traditional animation. She's worked for studios like Spumco, Pocket Gems, and Big Jump, and publishers like Harper Collins, Tokyopop, and First Second. She loves creating expressive characters, writing snarky dialogue, jiu-jitsu, and long dog walks away from her three boys who always want to be in the office and shed Lego EVERYWHERE. She writes and draws the webcomic Bearnuts and designs t-shirts for fun. She and her husband, comic colourist Jim Charalampidis, founded Studio Dooomcat as a fun site for all their irreverent non work art. She's currently designing characters and props for TVO's Wolf Joe and Netflix's Trailer Park Boys.
