Dave Whamond was born in Edmonton, Alberta. He grew up in the small northern Canadian town of Whitecourt where, he says, "there was nothing to do but draw cartoons." Whamond discovered doodling at an early age, practiced through many math classes and attended the Alberta College of Art, where he studied visual communications and discovered his true passion -- cartooning and illustration. Whamond freelanced at The Calgary Herald as an editorial cartoonist, sharing duties with the paper's staff cartoonist and publishing three cartoons a week while still a senior in college. He honed his skills at the Herald for five years before devoting himself full-time to freelance illustration for magazines. Whamond's illustrations have been published in Sports Illustrated, National Geographic World, Financial Times, Owl Magazine, Psychology Today and T.V. Times, among other publications. He also illustrates a monthly feature for Sesame Street Magazine.
