Hey, there!
I'm Jake Tobin, a Toronto-based illustrator, cartoonist, and writer. I work primarily in ink with splashes of colour — capturing places, people, and moments with whimsy.
I take on commissions of all kinds, from personal house, storefront and portrait illustrations to campaigns and editorial work for brands, publications and nonprofits. Clients have included Absolut Vodka, Environmental Defence, the LCBO, Toronto Life, and The 519 Community Centre.

Let's work together!
I work with brands, nonprofits, and publications to turn complex ideas into images that resonate, particularly within the urban, queer, and environmental community. Past clients include Absolut Vodka, LCBO, Environmental Defence, Toronto Life, 519 Community Centre, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and more.
Whether you need illustrations for a campaign, report, editorial, event or something else entirely, I’d love to work with you.

Find prints of your favourite Toronto bookstores, coffee shops, parks, restaurants, bars and more. I also have special collections for queer spaces and Hanlan’s Beach.
I’ve drawn over 100 places to date and I’m always adding more. If you don’t see a place, you can always commission an original for yourself (see commissions info above).
In addition to prints, the online shop also includes a selection of cards, stickers, and magnets.
Shipping is from Toronto and there is free pick-up options available as well.
