Sean Murphy was born in Nashua, NH in the fall of 1980. He got interested in comics in grade school and spent many afternoons of his childhood drawing instead of making friends. His formal education started in Salem, NH as an apprentice to Leslie Swank, local painter, cartoonist and WWII vet. After graduating Pinkerton Academy high school in 1999 he attended Massachusetts College of Art (Boston) and then the Savannah College of Art and Design. He started working professionally before graduating with titles like Star Wars and Noble Causes, then moved to Hollywood while working on various other projects for Dark Horse Comics. His career started gaining more steam when DC Comics offered him titles like Batman/Scarecrow: Year One and Teen Titans. In 2005 he published his first original graphic novel called Off Road, which went on to win an American Library Association award for young adults. Last year saw the release of his second OGN titled Outer Orbit (co created and drawn with long time friend Zach Howard). His day to day work lately has been working with Vertigo Comics on a project with Neil Young, freelancing with concept art for various Hollywood studios, doing covers for Marvel Comics and working on his next OGN, Punk Rock Jesus. He currently lives in Brooklyn, NY with his girlfriend Colleen and their two dogs, Red and Luna.
