Hello!
My name is Jake Tobin Garrett and I'm writer, illustrator and cartoonist based in Toronto.
Working primarily in ink with splashes of colour, I aim to capture a sense of place and whimsy, expressing the familiar in unexpected ways. Since 2015, I have drawn hundreds of custom illustrations for people and sell artwork through my online store.
I've also worked with clients such as the LCBO, Chatelaine, Maisonneuve, Deciem, Book City, Environmental Defence, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and more.
Commissions Open!
I am open for commissions! If you’re looking to get a house, storefront, portrait or other illustration done, please get in touch.
Spots tend to fill up before holidays, so if you’re hoping to get something for Mother’s Day send me a note at jake@jaketobin.ca.
More info on pricing and process on my commissions page.
