Hello!
My name is Jake Tobin and I'm writer, illustrator and cartoonist in Toronto.
Working 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 sold artwork through my online store.
My work has been featured in The Globe & Mail, CBC, the Toronto Star, and a show at Hashtag Gallery in Mexico City in March 2025 as part of an artist residency. I’ve been grateful to work with clients such as the LCBO, Absolut Vodka, The 519, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Chatelaine, Environmental Defence, Book City and more.
