About The Artist

Hi, I’m Temo, a self-represented artist and cartoonist in Chicago by way of China, France, and Japan. As an artist, I am partly classically trained and partly self-taught. I also have extensive training in long-form improvisation and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, both of which shape my artistic approach and give my art a dream-like and whimsical quality.
