Chris Maiurro is an illustrator currently living and working in Portland, Oregon. Hailing from New Jersey and Brooklyn, his work reflects East Coast sensibilities and playful sarcasm, with some fun surprises.

Some of Chris' work explores the relationship and scale between animals and people. Unexpected creatures that ride the subway, or move in across the street, somehow don't seem threatening. Sometimes he shrinks people down to experience a birds-eye-view, or to take their morning swim in a fish tank; opening up another perspective that we don't usually consider.

Whether joining birds on a telephone wire, a praying mantis on the subway, or a housefly taking his power back, Chris takes ordinary, everyday objects, and presents them in an unpredictable way.
