Calvin Wong Illustration Est. 1980
This is the personal portfolio site of Calvin Wong. I am an illustrator and comic artist working out of the San Francisco Bay Area. My work has seen print in the East Bay Express, the Lavapunch comics anthology, and the upcoming Missed Connections and Bridge Project anthologies. On the web, my work has appeared on the frontpages of XIP, Retrocrush, Somethingawful, and creativeskin.
Aside from illustration, I am also currently working in Silicon Valley mocking up and implementing GUI designs for web applications. I do a lot of HTML, CSS, and javascript scripting in my job, and I've done my share of Java, PHP, Perl, and JSP coding in the past. I'm sort of one of these guys.
Currently, I am working on stories for the Elfworld 2 anthology and minicomics for the Stumptown comics fest.
