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, and Toronto Star and I’ve been grateful to collaborate with clients such as the LCBO, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Chatelaine, Environmental Defence, Book City 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 at jake@jaketobin.ca.
More info on pricing and process on my commissions page.
