Eric Devlin, born and raised in Boston but recently relocated to Queens, is having unexpected
success learning the subway system. He makes pictures that have adorned various album covers
and has been featured in The Boston Globe and The Weekly Dig. Devlin has also shown work in
Boston, New York City and Chicago and feels funny writing in the third person.
Also a co-founder of Acronym Comics, an independent comics press, he illustrates the adventures
of "Citizen Elvis" and writes/paints the thriller "The Alchemist." His favorite pie is pumpkin.
Education
