Born 1948, New Zealand
Joe Wylie spent three years "falling in and out of 'Art' schools" including Wellington Polytechnic and Art School in Christchurch, and then a further five years working as an animator in Australia for the Hanna Barbara animation studios. He then travelled, spending time in Tibet studying art under a Budhhist monk.
In 1977 he began drawing his Maureen Cringe and Kabuki series for Strips. His drawing is a stylish combination of manga, early animation, E.C. Segar and TIbetan Buddhist art.
Wylie was an award-winning animator, whose short animated film The Night Watchman received international acclaim.
