Jesse Duquette was born in Hartford, Connecticut where he lived until relocating to Boston to briefly attend the Massachusetts College of Art, a venture that was about as successful as Trump Steaks. He holds no degrees, no distinct honors, and has won no prestigious awards. But his mother loves him anyways. In January 2017, Jesse began "The Daily Don", an art series in which he has documented every day of the Trump presidency with a cartoon or two a day as a sort of nightmare diary to balance humor with the hellacious. He currently resides in the verdant hills of Western Massachusetts with his wife and son.
