24 Hour Comics People 3 Rise of the Machines

Stan Yan grew up in Denver, Colorado and went to school at the University of Colorado in Boulder where he got his bachelor's degree in accounting. Due to the lack of sex-for-recruiting for accounting students, Yan's life took the tragic turn into sales for the securities industry, where he wallowed in ethical poverty on-and-off for thirteen years. Yan takes his frustrations out by penning graphic novels such as The Wang. In 2005, Yan has gave up on financial security and become a full-time freelance cartoonist, illustrating SubCulture for Ape Entertaiment, creating comic strips for the financial and sales industry, drawing zombie caricatures, and picking up odd illustration and teaching jobs when folks are feeling agonizing pity for him. Stan now teaches Summer camps, after school programs, workshops, and is helping to develop a degree program in graphic storytelling as an adjunct faculty member at the Community College of Aurora. He heads up a cooperative of local comic creators called the Squid Works which produces books like this one at www.squidworks.com
