Tugrul Karacan

Tugrul Karacan is a storyteller and self-taught artist/illustrator born and raised in Izmir, Turkey. He studied visual communication design in Istanbul Bilgi University.

But he quickly found that he was drawn to storytelling more - so than design.

In Turkey he had been writing and illustrating for a children’s magazine for three years. Within this duration, he composed a 150-piece comic series and about 500 illustrations for kids. Also he created children's books for Rovio (Angry Birds Movie), Sweet Apple Publishers (London), and others.

In 2017 Tugrul moved to California. Now he is creating his own children’s books.

In his free time Tugrul doodles some emojis and stickers for fun.

Now he lives in California with his parrot.
