Hi. I'm Alexander Laird. I make comics, videos and put together live shows.
Currently living in Brooklyn, NY. From Toronto, ON originally.
I graduated from York University, in Toronto, ON in May of 2016, majoring in film production, and minoring in history.
I have had my work featured with platforms and publications such as the New Yorker, the New York Times, Vice, Pitchfork, Eternal Family, Stereogum, The FADER, okayplayer, FORGE Art Magazine, NoBudge, SLUG, not to mention numerous album covers and gig posters.
I was the Summer 2019 Artist-in-Residence at the RisoLAB, part of the MFA Visual Narrative program at SVA in New York, NY.
I have been nominated for the Doug Wright Awards once in May 2018 and then nominated twice June 2022. Most recently nominated for an Ignatz Award in August 2022.
I run FROG FARM, a new risograph publisher that hosts gatherings, that includes live shows with comic readings, video screenings and comedy, as well as seasonal comic arts fairs.
