Fred Noland draws from a deep well of inspiration
ranging from the Expressionists to Underground Comics. His illustrations have appeared in the SF Weekly, LA Weekly, Tennis, Bike, Nickelodeon, Canoe and Kayak, Illinois Times, XboX Magazine,TokyoPop, Santa Fe Reporter and more. His sequential art has been featured
in the Cartoon Art Museum, and the Oakland Museum
at the OAK installation. He has also taken part in group shows at San Francisco's SOMARTS and Amaru Galleries and RPS in Oakland.

As a cartoonist, he has produced a series of increasingly innovative and eccentric minis.His current project, Black Sheep, features his most ambitious work yet. The six-part "Neighborhood of the Beast" explores the darker side
of suburbia. Other highlights include the Southern Gothic Midnight Creep and his self proclaimed "jam comic
from hell" Mantequilla del Pato (with the incomparable Trevor Alixopulos).

Fred resides in Oakland. When he's not working you
can find him cycling through the East Bay hills.
