Biography

Rob Justus is an award winning author, illustrator and graphic novelist. His graphic novel series Death & Sparkles won the Manitoba Young Reader’s Choice Award in 2023. In 2022, Rob was selected as the illustrator for the prestigious TD Summer Reading Club in Canada. Prior to all this, Rob spent nearly a decade as a market researcher writing very bland reports. Taking a chance on himself, Rob decided to return to his childhood passion of drawing and storytelling and hasn’t looked back. Rob has written and illustrated five picture books and two graphic novels. When Rob isn’t telling people that he draws unicorns for a living, he is wrangling his two young boys in Ottawa, Canada.
