Patrick Lugo’s comic art was first published by independent publisher Double Edge Comics. He has since worked as senior designer for Kung Fu Tai Chi magazine where he created the long running comic series TIGER’S TALE. His first Children’s Picture Book LITTLE MONK AND THE MANTIS was awarded both the Book of the Year Honor from the Gellett Burgess Center for Children’s Literature and the Preferred Choice Award from CREATIVE CHILD MAGAZINE. The middle-grade reader LUCY VELOZ: HIGH-FLYING PRINCESS will feature his illustrations and be published by Cosmic Ray Press later this year.
