Robert Crayola was born in Orange County, California, in 1979. He became obsessed with narrative at a young age, particularly prose and comics, producing hundreds of stories (including a novel that was later destroyed) while still in high school. After working in public schools in California and South Korea for ten years, he abandoned that career and put all his energy into art and stories. His first book was "Cheat Codes for Life," a self-help and magic book, followed quickly by "Dr. Jew," a humorous novel. Next came "William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience," for which he created unorthodox new illustrations and an appendix.

His newest book is "Ueda Sensei Solves Crimes of Depravity and Perversity," a collection of 32 humorous mystery tales.
